Now, a bit about Tasmania: A small Island to the south east of Australia. Hobart is the capital and looks to be a buzzing little city; this is where we will land either by ferry or plane.
Hire vehicles are the order of the day; the Island is of a size that every area could be visited during our stay. On collection of the transport off we go to find our beds. Two base camps for the trip, north and south of the Island the split coming halfway through our tour. Accommodation will take the form of self-catering lodges allowing the team to prepare thoroughly in the pursuit of
excellence.
Ancient Astronaught on the Moai
The weather whilst in Tasmania should be the equivalent to a good British summer with the temperature likely to be in the mid 20’s. With good high- pressure systems we will take the opportunity to tackle some of the famous sea stacks and sea cliffs many of which start on the sparkling, white, sandy beaches.
Listed below is a selection of areas to be visited along with a few famous routes. So hop on the Internet and have a look.
