I just recently went to Tasmania again, and I haven't been for ages! It was amazing! We drove to Melbourne, and took a ferry across to Tasmania. It takes about 9.5 hours on the ferry. Now, you can get really bored on the ferry, as it takes forever, so it's important to take stuff to save you from your boredom. Here is a basic list of what to take on the ferry.

We arrived at about 6:30 and arrived at our accomodation at about 7:15. The next day we went to Lake Barrington. It is really beautiful there, and if you're lucky you might spot a wallaby around in the bushes. There are some good fishing spots as well there. We also visited Marakoopa cave, House of Anvers, Reliquaire, and some other really cool places. Here is your 'places to go' list.
