 Perth to Tasmania October
Hello All Just planning a six week round trip from Perth to Tasmania leaving around Oct. We are thinking a week travel each way (Perth – Melbourne Rtn) before boarding the ferry and would like to know of any nice free camping area’s on the way. Also do wondered if a week ( 7 days) was enough time or to much? Any help would be great. See you all out there. Baz and Gil

 Re: Perth to Tasmania October
Hi Baz and Gil – we spent two weeks getting there via the Great Ocean Road and four weeks return via the northern Flinders Ranges.
Campsites on the way included Narrung Peninsula jetty landing camp and the Sawpit campground near Narrawong in Victoria.

 Re: Perth to Tasmania October
We spent 7 weeks in Tasmania and wasn’t anywhere near long enough If you can make 2 weeks there 2 weeks back and at least 6 weeks there you’ll came back very tired but satisfied, 4 weeks will be a rush around

 Re: Perth to Tasmania October
My first plan was to take five weeks – four annual leave plus the holidays around Christmas/New Year. I decided it would be a waste of fuel and ferry costs. We took three months with the travels to and fro, and seven weeks in Tasmania; six would be a bare minimum. I call our short tour "A taste of Tasmania". We saw a bit of a lot, but missed a lot more places we would have liked to have seen. A wonderful trip.

It sounds like we will have to do some planning as we only have the 6 weeks off work. Still all part of the adventure. Happy travels

 Re: Perth to Tasmania October
We have just come back from Tassie.. Spent 13 weeks on the island and managed to see most of it. For the cost of return on ferry, I would really recommend minimum 12weeks. Regards Keith & Maggie

Regards Keith & Maggie I totally agree; we have been twice. The first time in 2003 we stayed 5 weeks then in 2009 it was for 8 weeks and I don’t think we have seen it all. My B-I-L went for 8 weeks and saw/visited places we haven’t and vise versa. We hope to live long enough to go again only this time it will be for at least 3 months and better planned. glanyard
