Kids in a campervan? Tasmania!

[~Trish~]

Sounds like fun! I haven't been around Tassie, but some friends have with their kids in a campervan and they had a great time .

In September/October of last year we took our 3 kids on a 6 week trip from Melbourne to Perth (and back) towing our caravan, we had the BEST time!

One thing to think about with a campervan is that once you have set up camp, if you want to go for a drive around to tour the area, you have to pack everything up again, then re-set up when you get back.

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll love it!

I know that the zoo near riverside in launceston kicks butt over the zoo near mole creek.

I don't really get out to see much of tassie unfortunately lol

Tasmazia and the village of lower crackpot (I think it's called that) - lots of fun for big and little kids - google will tell you more

A friend and I had a ball there about 6 years ago.

Subscribing because we want to do this too! Our plan is to come in by boat, then spend a few days in/around Strahan, then down to Hobart, up to Freycinet and then to Launceston before going back to the boat. We want to spend a few days in each spot to explore. We've just got our camper, so we're watching the boat prices (going to cost a bit to get us over) so will be interested in seeing where you go! It's been over ten years since I was there, and DH has never been.

There is also the tahune airwalk and the dismal swamp 110 metre slide

Oh thanks everyone! We actually booked the flights and campervan today so it's on!

Have to go through all those great suggestions to finalise the touring itinerary, but first step is to get some accommodation in Hobart. I knew the Sydney-Hobart would complicate things, but didn't quite realise that people booked their accommodation YEARS in advance Is anyone familiar with the Lenna or the Mercure Hobart?? These seem to have rooms available, not much else around.

Aligater, my DH has already ruled out the air walk - he hates heights!! Might have to go with my girlfriend and leave him with the kids
