Yep, great place to visit, all those places sound familar, don't know anyone who has been to Tassie, and not really enjoyed it, I have not been there for about 20 years, ? and your post has got me thinking ? It's about time i went back. But just like you, i would do it for 2 to 3 weeks with NO van.
