Definitely agree with Taslucas. Can't fit tassie in two weeks. I live here a haven't seen many of the places mentioned. The ferry across the Pieman river is out of commission atm for repairs. Not sure how long for. Honestly two weeks between the Pieman River and Smithton isn't long enough for me lol. Some of the brochures aren't very accurate about the tracks around this area. Like you can drive to Balfour in a standard Commodore. ..... but there is also a track that requires several busses (tassie talk for 4wd's ) with big tyres and a winch or two. Sandy cape...... don't go alone! Hundreds of rigs lost on that beach. The beach can and does change in hours. If you would like to know more about this area ( nw tip of Tassie) pm me your number. .... I'd be happy to have a yack
I plan to live forever................going well so far
We planned a similar trip to you, for just under two weeks, and only really got down the West Coast, and then across to Port Arthur, then zip back to the ferry........
There is so much to see and do, and only staying one night in places, doesn't do it justice in my opinion.
We'll be taking it easy up there, that's for sure. Will have another vehicle with us. We are both winched, have recovery tracks, snatch straps, all the usual recovery gear, hopefully enough to get us out of trouble should we find it!
