Tasmanian Adventure
Hi all,
I’m Margie. I’m a fun loving but quiet girl who enjoys getting out and discovering new things. My partner and I have just finished a 3 month camping trip around Tasmania and I wanted to tell people about it.
We started out in Hobart, a beautiful little city and headed south, as far south as you can go on any road in the world. Then headed north when the weather decided to turn on us. The Tasmanian weather is a fickle thing at times, one minute it is warm and sunny the next you are getting snowed on. The sound of snow on the tent was something I will never forget.
We made a complete circumnavigation of the state, enjoying the scenic views from different locations, camping in free campgrounds, walking different tracks and bushwalks. The unique wildlife showed us what they are capable of, as did the insects. It was a rush watching the sun come up in the mornings and seeing the magnificent sunsets over the west coast. I must say that the only way to experience Tasmania fully is by taking it slowly and watching everything that happens.
We enjoyed the experience of seeing Tasmania so much that we decided to build a website, Real Tasmania http://www.realtasmania.com , dedicated to informing other people about it. I am writing a blog journal, as we speak at Real Tasmania, where you can read about what happened and where we went. There is also information about Tasmania, a gallery, and a forum where you can ask questions about anything Tasmanian.
Hope to see you all at Real Tasmania and if you have been to Tasmania, why not join and tell us about your Tasmanian experience.
Cheers
Margie
Hi Margie,
Thanks for the post. I havn't been to Tasmania, but i would like to go and visit the place. Thanks for the website. I visited the link and enjoyed the content and pictures.
Regards

Hi Margie
Thanks for the great site. I am from Australia and we are planning a trip within the next four to five months either to Tasmania or New Zealand, I think you have convinced me now to go to Tasmania first it looks great. Should we take a package deal or travel ourself's, what do you think?
Hi tay
I would not do a package deal,with them you are limited to where you can go and what you can do. Why not join Real Tasmania and we can discuss it there. It is a site for discussing everything Tasamania and it includes this sort of discussion as well.
This is exactly the kind of question we would like to see brought up there. It will not only help us to discuss things with you in regards to your desires and needs, but help those who follow. Please bring this up at Real Tasmania.
Hey JP,
Glad you enjoyed the site, why not drop by again and ask a few questions about Tasmania. We might just convince you to come down this way :-)
Thanks Margie. My husband actually has been telling me the same thing about package deals. I just thought that they sometimes work out cheaper
Even if they are cheaper, is it cheap enough to make it worth being tied to a group and a schedule? If your enjoyment of the trip is drastically affected, then you have really wasted your money.
We have now decided to take a package but one with only accommadation and Car Rental in with it. Then we can sight see when we like. So it's kind of a package but not the sight seeing.
have you checked out Real tassie for some great spots to go while down here? How long is your trip?
Yes I have been looking at your site we are going for two weeks.
