What a time we've had in Tasmania! It was certainly worth the extra money to go on a tour and the effort to get over here. The tour lasted 6 full days and the party we went with were great! We were taken to many national parks to walk through rainforests and viewing spectacular waterfalls. We also trekked up 2 mountains, the Cradle Mountain and Mount Amos, which both gave spectacular views and were well worth the effort to get up there! Mount Amos had very li...

We completed our drive from Adelaide on Monday (20th). The final leg of the drive was amazing. We were driving on the edge of cliff faces with stunning scenery.

The weather was really hot there which made the beech look really nice. The waves were quite big aswell so managed to have an entertaining swim, dodging the waves and catching the big ones all the way back into the shore. <p>On the Sunday we headed to the WA famous 'Sunday Sessions' as...
