Tasmanian Places:A to Z

1. Great pics!! Did you do the walk to the Walls of Jerusalem? That is a truly amazing place!! We spent 3 days up there one Christmas and it snowed the entire time!

   1. Thanks Julie. No we weren’t equipped for walking in the snow. We were there in late November and didn’t expect to encounter any snow. We didn’t have proper clothing or footwear unfortunately. That’s why I need to go back! :)

2. Gorgeous photos Kathy and Tasmania is definitely on our list to visit. I’ll find this post very useful for planning.

   1. Tassie is a very scenic place and probably the wildest and most pristine place I’ve seen, particularly on the west coast. The beaches along the east coast are also spectacular, with Bay of Fires being a highlight. Yes you should definitely put Tassie on your bucket list. :)

3. Wow, would love to travel all of those places.?Love your blog.

   1. Thank you Mia. Tasmania, although a little isolated from the rest of Australia is a fabulous place to visit. So much untouched beauty. :)

4. Great post! I love how you did it alphabetically.
   I also love the pictures, they’re gorgeous!
   This is very timely as I’m planning a trip there soon! Thank you for sharing :)

   1. Nanou you will fall head over heels in love with Tasmania as I did. It is has so much to offer the traveller. Thank you for dropping by. :)

5. What a fab post. I was able to relive all my trips to Tassie. It’s definitely one of my favourite places.

   1. Mine too Michelle. I could easily go back there to explore it further. I would love to do the 3 Capes walk one day. :)

6. I love Tasmania! We did a trip around it last year in late April/early May. It was a whirlwind first time 13 day trip. I’ve been to all the places you’ve listed EXCEPT … I, J, K, M, O, U, V, Y, Z. That’s quite a few misses. I’ll have to go back!! :-)

   1. You can be excused Min. Some of these places were a little out of the way. Yes 13 days is probably not long enough to really see all that Tassie has to offer. We both will have to go back! :)

7. What a great idea to format the post this way! I’m heading to Tasmania in December for 12 days so will definitely save this for reference, thank you!

   1. Hi Meg, I have actually done the A to Z for every state I’ve visited in Australia. I had a lot of fun putting it together for Tasmania. For such a small island state it sure packs a punch. You will love every bit of Tassie! Happy travels. :)

8. I just returned from 8 days in Tassie and I absolutely adored it! Its beauty made me so grateful to be part of it. I am already planning my return and several of these places are on my list (with Maria Island at the top!).

   1. Everyone I speak to has either been on a holiday in Tasmania or are planning one. It seems to be very popular nowadays, when it was once thought of as being barren and boring! I loved every bit of Tassie and yes Maria Island is gorgeous. :)

9. I love when you do the A-Z posts. It allows me to see a lot of Australia. I didn’t know Tasmania is known as the Apple Island. New fact learned today! #TPThursday

   1. Thanks Ruth. I have run out of Australian states so no more A-Z posts. Tasmania is a beautiful place to tour around. It has so much wonderful scenery. :)

10. I adored Tasmania when we visited several years ago. Now you have me definitely wanting to go back for a return visit. You are right 2 weeks is barely enough. There is so much to see and explore. I loved the history and the nature as well. And the Salamanca markets in Hobart. are a must.

    1. I can see why you would adore Tasmania Jill. It is a photographer’s dream! I enjoyed it immensely and hope to return to explore some more some time soon. :)

11. Great article! I love learning about new places and the sites you’ve chosen are beautiful.

    1. Thanks Nicole. Tasmania is a beautiful island with lots of stunning scenery, interesting history and delicious food and wine. :)

12. Gosh some great photos here Kathy. I love the Lake St. Clair, Oxford Beach, Lake Victoria National Park and a nice perspective shot of the Nut. It is many years since I’ve been to Tasmania and Marty has never been. I can see that a lot of the places are still the same. I’m sure it won’t be long till we make a trip there. There is so much to see in such a small area – a good budget holiday.

    1. Thanks Jan. I think every Aussie should visit our most southern state at least once. I loved every part of it as it was such an interesting place with a brutal convict history and there are many parts that are still very wild and untamed. The beaches on the east coast were also spectacular. Shame about the weather though. It was freezing even in November! :)

13. Most Americans think only of the cartoon Tasmanian Devil when they think of Tasmania. Looks like there’s a lot more to the island than that one animal. It seems like a good mix of natural beauty, historical places and giant penguin statues. I’d love to visit one day.

    1. The Tasmanian Devil is still very famous in Tasmania, however I never got to see one. There is a lot of interesting places to see in Tasmania and is a lot different to mainland Australia. Parts of Tasmania are wilderness areas and are extremely wild and untamed.

14. Tasmania is on my list of “must-see” places. Lovely photos.

    1. Tassie is a very special place. I could go back there in a blink! Thank you for dropping by and I’m glad you enjoyed my photos. :)
