We will be in Tassie during the Christmas/New Year holidays and was just wondering if anyone has knowledge of a nice place that we could camp up for the duration.
It really doesn't matter where as we have time on our side and if we know in advance then we can make a point of being there at the right time.
There are plenty of places in CAW6 which look OK but I tend to like first hand knowledge and experiences from those that have been there, done that, especially if it's for an extended stay.
Any advice greatfully received. Thanks.

Ma,
All of Tassie is Ok over Christmas, but (and it's a BIG But) we locals like to have the island to ourselves over this period.
Most of the good "bush camping spots" are taken up in the preciding week by the locals.
One of your best bets is "The Bay of Fires" near Binalong Bay on the NE corner. You can stay there for upto 4 weeks without any hassles.
The area will accommodate about 1000 campers in a number of spots.
Our favourites are Cosy Corner North or Swimcart Beach.
Cosy Corner South is good if you have a smallish motorhome or tent.
May, even see you up there? Dependant on weather.
Not good news for you. If weather is fine, we will be out sailing.
Weather not so good, see you at Bay of Fires.
Cheers and have a great time here in Tassie.
Give us a "hoy" when you are heading towards Hobart.

Thanks for that Dusty and will certainly "yell" when we are around the Hobart area.
Think it might be a better idea to give you a ring though don't you, would hate to interfere with the serinity of the place...........

Don't yell too loud.
Wouldn't want to wake the state up would we.

We met a "mainlander" the other day and she was complaining that they were camping at Queenstown (on West Coast) and they went down to the shops on a Sunday morning at 10am and nobody was open.
I asked her what time of the year was that?
"November"
"Ha, now I know why nobody was open?"
"Why."
"You where too early, we don't open until January in Tasmania."
Take it easy, folks.

I would have suggested Queenstown as a hiding-place for the Christmas Hols Ma... nice quiet place, interesting railway history and not far from the coast. A few free-camps there. Maybe the locals could advise?
