Am temporarily working in Tas West Coast and bought some delicious apple spice cake from a caravan stall with German breads and cake at the Salamanca market. The stall is down the far end i.e. facing away from the city centre. Does anyone know who runs this bakery as I would kill for the recipe of the apple cake. They sell it by the piece.

Hi all,

Thanks for your kind comments.

I have booked a trip to Tasmania from 10th April - 20th April.

Should I book all the accomodations prior to the trip? Would the internet rates be competitive compared to the walk in rates?

I served the net and saw that innkeepers accomodation cost about A$120 per night. Is that the best rates available?

Hope for more advice as I'm traveling on a budget.

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hi all,

Hope to ask some advice from everyone here.

I am planning a trip to Tasmania in April this year. From my internet research, the following is my proposed itinery:

Day 1 – 2
Hobart
Mount Wellington
Salamanca Market

Day 3
Port Arthur

Day 4
Cradle Mountain

Day 5
Strahan
Gordon River
Queenstown

Day 6 - 7
Laucheston

Day 8
Wine Glass Bay

Day 9
Back to Hobart

May I ask if the plans above are too ambitious? Or too relaxed? Are there any 'must go' attractions that I missed out?

Would you have any recommended motels to stay at the various locations? Any good restaurants to dine at?

Also, I would like to know if its cheaper to rent a car in Tasmania or Melborne?

Cheers.

I am thinking of visiting Hobart, Tasmania, and have only 2 nights. Arrive 10:00 am on a Monday, and depart at 8 am two nights later on a Wednesday. I read that Tasmania is great to visit, but to be honest, I am not sure what to see and do. I am looking for a suggested itinerary, or what to do, where to go logistically, given the short time frame as as described above. Will be traveling in November. I look forward to your help. Thank you.

hi there, I am finally going to carry out a dream of mine and head to Tasmania to do some kayaking.
Can anybody offer any tips?
I will have my own car, tent and kayak.
Nothing too extreme but want to get a good taste of the Tasmanian wilderness from the perspective of the water.

Hi! My family and I are travelling to Tasmania for two weeks and would love recommendations on good accomodations (hotels/apartments) in hobart that have kitchenettes. if you dont' know of any with a living area/kitchen facilities, even recommendations on regular hotels would be great. there are too many to choose from!

Thanks.

Dear Folks -

I will be touring around Tas April 15-26 and will be in Hobart April 21-22. I like to get a tattoo done when I travel to distant lands as a mememto(I live in the Canadian Arctic) and was wondering if someone out there could recommend a good (reputable) tattoo artist or studio in Hobart.
Thanks!

Hi, Will be in Hobart next week and I'm planning to get the bus to the Cadbury factory on a Monday morning. Does the number 37 bus go from Hobart to Cadbury without me needing to change busses in Glenorchy? I can't quite figure the timetable out!
Thanks

We're all booked to go to Tasmania just after Christmas, but as we tried to book accomodation for the night of New Year's Eve, we find the whole city booked! Apparently, there's some Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race happening there around that time. What really hurts is the laughter on the phone when we call up places and ask if there's anything available :-/

Any recommendations? Know of any brand new or extremely out-of-the-way places in the Hobart area that might not have a full dance card? Or should we just sleep where we fall down (which might be a little cold)?

Help us, VT, help us!

Is it worthwile renting a car at Hobart airport or will i get it cheaper in the city?
