We havent gone away for 10 years as we are abit of a hermit and hate leaving the house.Now it`s cheap to get there but where do I go once I`m there.Do I stick to Hobart? Is there shopping there? Don`t suppose theres a Warner Brothers store.north south east west.Any good advice, oh and keep it clean.

If its half as much fun as last years trip, you will have a ball. We had a couple of locals from the forum who joined us and showed us some great roads.Hopefully DUCATIJB will be posting the details shortly - C'mon JB Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24526-thinking-of-going-down-totassie/#findComment-367142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 4m 8d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 06/04/06 08:59 PM Share Posted 06/04/06 08:59 PM While you're in Hobart don't forget to go for a blast up Mt Wellington but watch out for ice and snow on road. View is fantastic. Take a warm coat!Other "touristy" things to do in Tassie include visit Cadbury chocolate factory (all the free samples you can eat! ) and also Boags beer factory (more free samples but not to takeaway ).Also in Hobart is the Wrest Point Hotel Casino if you're into gambling.Port Arthur is another place worth a look, allow a full day for this.http://www.discovertasmania.com.au is agood reference guide for things to do.
