Lucky you, Tassie is just lovely.
We turned left off the ship and headed for Launceston,basing ourselves there for several days . Just went a different direction each day exploring. So much to see around there. We then did the east coast down to Port Arthur taking in a couple of weeks. Hobart for another week and then heading off to Strachan. We just stopped and based ourselves and each day branching out into the interior and back to base. Then off to Cradle Mountain and branching out from there. Up to Burnie and branching out from there. That time we could only do 5 weeks and still missed places so we are going back next year for 2 months.
Some places we loved Tamar Valley area Liffey Falls Bay of Fires and St Helens, Freycinet PeninsulA Port Arthur Hobart don't forget to spend a SAt. Morning at S alamanca Markets Huon Valley Strachan the cruise on the Gordon River is terrific, Sheffield
Look I could go on forever maybe someone else can come up with places to see. Ross and Richmond not to be missed. Have a wonderful trip

I asked the same question a few days ago - look on the next page under the heading Tasmania and you'll see the great response I had. We tke the ferry to Tasmania on the evening of 8 February - maybe see you there.

One thing I have not read about Tasmania currently.
Heard on local ABC radio this morning, the Western Explorer highway is currently closed due to a major land slip.
It will be closed for a period of five months.
I suggest for further information and updates contacting the motoring agencies i.e. RACT, RACV, NRMA etc.
When you get off the ferry, there is a group of volunteers haanding out tourist information at the exit gate.
That way you will be able to decide what interests you.
So much to see and do, so little time.
