Why you will fall in love with Tasmania...

Tasmania is also home of the Tasmanian Devil, extinct on the mainland, an animal usually about 30cm (12 inches) tall, although males can grow to 90cm (35 inches) and weigh up to 90kg (200lbs). The Tasmanian Devil, named because of its fierce appearance, is shy, but with luck you may see one feeding at night in the remoter parts of the northwest and central regions of the island. The Tasmanian Tiger is believed to be extinct, although sightings have been reported occasionally in remote regions.

Australia's second-oldest colony, Tasmania retains many fine Georgian buildings and largely unchanged village streetscapes. Many colonial cottages provide accommodation, acquainting tourists with the history of the state. There are also numerous free camps dotted around Tasmania, as well as plenty of cheap caravan parks to park your campervan for the night. To complete the holiday experience, dine at the fine restaurants which concentrate on local ingredients such as Tasmanian smoked salmon, King Island Camembert and freshwater and saltwater fish.

So self-contained is the island that Tasmanians refer to other Australians as "mainlanders" or remind them that when they visit that they come from "Tasmania's northern island."

Above all, Tasmania does everything to cater to tourists' needs. The state is known around Australia as the Holiday Isle. Most campervan and motorhome rental companies are based in Hobart, however there are a few smaller options available for hire in Launceston.

Yes, you should visit Hobart..

Hobart is confused by simple concepts such as time and place. It knows that it is the 21st Century, but insists on giving the outward appearance of a 19th Century city although the occasional luxury hotel or high rise building breaks the skyline as a gesture to modernity.

The population of Hobart knows that it lives in the capital of a state but insists on maintaining the friendliness and intimacy of a country town, where everyone knows everyone else and nothing is rushed. If you want to hire a campervan or motorhome and explore Tasmania, you are best to try the rental places in Hobart as there will be far more choice here than anywhere else.

Hobart Climate & Weather

The climate is mild in summer but decidedly chilly in winter, and is the only state capital in Australia that has any winter snow, albeit rarely. Above the city is Mount Wellington, its summit often hidden in cloud or dusted with snow, while the majestic River Derwent divides the city from surrounding green farmland and outlying suburbs.

Hobart's landscape more closely resembles the European countryside than any other part of Australia. If you're thinking about renting a campervan or motorhome in Winter, bring some really warm clothes. In summer, you'll be very comfortable sleeping in a camper.

Hobart History

Hobart, Australia's second oldest city, was started only 16 years after Sydney, with the intention of thwarting French designs on Tasmania. Governor Macquarie, when he gave instructions to build the settlement on the River Derwent, wanted to avoid repeating the chaotic street plan of Sydney so the city center is laid out on a grid.

When prisoner transportation ended in the Australian colonies, Hobart became a backwater. Even today, Australia's second city is the country's smallest state capital with a population of just 218,000 people. However, being bypassed by progress has meant that Hobart retains much of its Georgian elegance and heritage.
