| Although it's small in Australian terms, make sure you give yourself
enough time to see Tasmania; if you want to see only its cities you need
no more than a few days, but to get a flavour of the countryside - the
great outdoors is the real reason to come here - a couple of weeks or
longer is necessary. Tasmanian Travel Centres ( www.tastravel.com.au )
in the major cities can provide information and also book all transport,
tours and accommodation; their free information paper, Travelways (also
available online at www.travelways.com.au ), is extremely useful, filled
with detailed, reliable and comprehensive information on accommodation,
attractions, bus timetables, car rental, adventure tours and national
parks. The free magazine Tasmanian Adventures , available from
information centres in Tasmania (also online at
www.tasmanianadventures.com.au ), is an excellent source of information
on tours ranging from "mild" to "wild". For extremely helpful
directories of businesses and services across Tasmania, try Tasmania
Online ( www.tas.gov.au ), and for general tourist information check out
the goverment-run site www.tourism.tas.gov.au . |
