Planning Trip To Tasmania

[macdog]

Gents,

how is everyone?

I'm planning a trip to Tassie and would like some advice on suggested roads to drive?

Catching the ferry over in late March.

Thanks for the input.

Do a search. There was a thread on this in the last week or 2.

[jangles]

what sort of driving do you want to do? where do you want to end up?

[XRATED]

Budget a couple of days around the north west.... a good guide to find great roads in Tassie- "the dumber the name the better the roads!"

I'd budget a day to rock it down the west coastal roads to Hobart.

Base out of Hobart for a few... climb the mountain and mountain roads, reaserch the Targa stages (all open and fee public roads). Then bang on down south, to Port Arther/Dunnally southport. (stop at the Dunally bakery... best apple pies and meat pies ever!).

March 22 is drift practice at Baskerville and 28th is Tasmania 400 at Symonds Plains. 23 poatena mountain race! jump on the cams calender for all the dates.

Cheers

Justin

Not sure on ferry prices yet...

[macdog]

ferry is well...

for two people and two cars twin room $1200.00

return.

so $600each

seems pretty expensive to me... First time I've done this though... so I'm not sure...

Here is the route I'm driving...

Nice work man You should have a good time with some of those roads. Any reason for the backtrack from Kings Meadows to Strahan? If it were me I'd do the trip anti clockwise and head from Devonport - Strahan - Hobart- Swansea ( following the A3 Tasman Hwy) - Kings Meadows ( following the B34 Lake Leake Hwy) - Devonport.

That way you get to see the East Coast too which is a really lovely part of Tas. If you had the time a side trip into Freycinet National Park/Coles Bay would be well worth it.

Not sure about the ferry prices as it's been 10 years since I last went on it but why the two cars? You guys coming just to do a cruise holiday? I'm sure if you guys were keen there'd be a few boys who might be interested in joining you for a leg or two of the trip. Get a few local cars out and about.

G'day Brodie,

Reason why I have to go to Kings meadows is I have to see a client for business.. quick 45 minute meeting.

then head to Strahan. I've heard about Freycinet Park... I'll definitely check that out. that map will be loosely followed. Just acts as a guide. My mate is bringing his motorbike. Yeah, just to check Tasmania out a bit... I'll be back for sure.

If anyone is keen message me for the dates.

Yeah I figured it might be something like that considering it's a specific address lol. Well you'll have fun no matter what route you take because it's an awesome place with some awesome roads. I'll shoot you a PM might be interested in a bit of a cruise when your down south.
