Tips for July trip to Tassie
We’re from Melb about to go to Tassie for the first time ever, any tips?
Here’s our plan:
• Day 1 (2 July): Head to Geelong Terminal and board the Spirit of Tasmania overnight ferry bound for Devonport.
• Day 2 (3 July): Disembark at Devonport; drive to Cradle Mountain for sightseeing, then travel east and stay overnight in Launceston.
• Day 3 (4 July): Drive south from Launceston to Hobart, visit Salamanca Market and Port Arthur, (ghost tour) overnight in Hobart.
• Day 4 (5 July): Catch the ferry to Bruny Island for coastal and wildlife trips, return and stay the night in Hobart.
• Day 5 (6 July): Drive up Mount Wellington near Hobart, then travel north back to Launceston for an overnight stay; Pyengana is a scenic stop along the route.
• Day 6 (7 July): Leave Launceston early for Devonport and pick one day trip before heading back:
- Scenic drive along Bass Strait coastline
- Sightsee at Cataract Gorge
- Explore the Pyengana countryside
- Detour to Wineglass Bay
Were wondering how driving after dark from port arthur back to Hobart since were doing the ghost tour there. We also heard that we might need ice scraper for the car in heading into the mountains? Is that necessary?
Thanks ☺️
