Still photos of the Tasman Peninsula Tasmania

[Couch]

There are many beautiful areas in Tasmania other than the Tasman Peninsula, however these photos were all taken within a couple of kls of where we live on the Peninsula. One of them is showing our home, and the view we wake up to each day! How lucky are we, hey!!

[Biggles]

Great photos.  Enviable lifestyle (except for all that lawnmowing)!

[Sicman]

Great shots. They look like our holiday shots from down there 3 years ago

[Couch]

One and half hours on the rider mower every couple of weeks in summer and every six weeks in winter and an hour of whipper snipping every few months. It really doesn't take too much.

winston66,
That looks pretty good when compared to the wide brown country that we have over here for about 6 months every year.
I think that there is a good possibility that I might come for a visit.Sometime, what would be the best time of the year,(climate wise)?
How does one get from the mainland to your patch and what would it cost for the ST and trailer as well as me. and where would I catch the ferry?

Beautiful area ,is the shed yours?

[Couch]

No, that ones not mine, I do have a double garage size shed but it's not seen in the photo. I have another level further up my driveway with a large parking area and double garage. I'm on three quarters of an acre.

Ok i'm on an Acre here ,always something to do.

Hi Winston, it's difficult to say when would be the best time but if you want to experience warmer weather then perhaps mid Feb to March. I suggest you Google "best time to visit Tasmania" and you'll find heaps of info. You would come across from the mainland from Melbourne on the Spirit of Tasmania. Once again to get all the info on travelling times, costs, etc. Google "Spirit of Tasmania". I've travelled across and back numerous times and it's not a bad passage at all. Good accommodation, food, etc.  Spring is also nice but it can still get a little cold. There are parts of Tassie that can get very cold so you need to make sure you have warm clothing. You can pretty much camp any time of year if you have the correct gear. I've ridden here mid winter and never had a problem with it being too cold. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, if you're in an area that snows then it would be to cold to camp out, for me anyway! Any further questions then don't hesitate to ask. I can certainly put you on to some good roads to ride!

winston66,


Hi Couch
Thanks for that info.
That is great and is giving me a lot to think about.
The way I feel at the moment, there is a fair chance that I will be packing my gear and then filling the tank.
Cheers,

I'd consider avoiding the school holiday periods which generally have inflated prices in most places.

[Marcus]

I repeat... I hate you


Edit: I'm such a stalker

[Sabie]

Hmm... Living in an area as beautiful as that should be illegal ..... Somebody arrest that man.

Couch, how good is that, your a lucky, lucky Man. They call that a 720 degree view... Cause you have to go around twice because you can't believe it on the first time around.

 

[Sabie]

Marcus, I'm sure Couch wanted his address published 

I repeat... I hate you

[Couch]

Ha!     Marcus, obviously I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you!

[Couch]

Hey Sabie........yes mate, I am sooooo lucky to be living here with my family!   
Six years ago we were living in Brisbane in a $700,000 house with a mortgage, now we live in a $300,000 house with a million dollar view, that we own!   Mate, I am so lucky!
