Tasmazia
We've come to Tasmania for a few weeks in our new caravan/Landcruiser 'rig'. The ferry from Melbourne ('Spirit of Tasmania') is an 8 hour overnight trip. We were comfortable in a small cabin, while Tigger stayed in the caravan on the garage deck.
So far, we've reached Hobart in the south of the island and we have to be back at the north end to catch a return ferry in about 10 days.
The strangest attraction we have visited is Tasmazia and Lower Crackpot. Here, we were able to get lost in 5 different hedge mazes and marvel at probably the most idiosyncratic model village we've ever seen!
We've also seen a lot of Tasmanian wildlife, including the Tasmanian Devil (of course), Echidna and a variety of native birds. We still haven't seen a platypus in the wild.
Today we visited Port Arthur a restored penal colony - prisons seem to be a big part of Tasmania's history.
