Step into the final episode of our 4-part Tasmanian journey, recorded amid our sunny 2024 summer expedition. If you've been following along, you'll know we landed in Tasmania back in January, embarking on a dual work/holiday escapade. Our trusty 200 series Landcruiser and Ultimate offroad camper trailer have been our faithful companions as we crisscrossed the apple isle, gathering insights for the ExplorOz Traveller app.
Our podcast isn't just about our exploits; it's a treasure trove for fellow travelers. Tune in for recommended destinations, ideal camping spots, duration suggestions, and a peek into our road life as we map and update for ExplorOz. If you're tuning in sequentially, start from Ep 14 for the full journey.
This episode resumes near Lake Pedder in South West National Park, weaving through our trails, highs, lows, and the essence of Tasmanian exploration: hikes, free camps, national parks, waterfalls, rainforests, lakes, beaches, caves, 4WD tracks, mountain bike parks, state forests, distilleries, historic sites, power stations, wasp encounters, berry-picking, challenging terrains, weather swings, holiday planning tips, StarLink navigation, and the routine adventures of road life—battery woes, extending your Tassie stay, securing your Parks Pass, and ferry reservations aboard the Spirit of Tasmania.
We traverse South West National Park, the Needles, Maydena, Mount Field, River Derwent, Ouse, Victoria Valley, Waddamana, Great Lakes, Penstock Lagoon, Miena, Highland Lakes Road, Projection Bluff, Central Highlands, the Great Western Tiers, Liffey Falls, Deloraine, Oura Oura, Mount Roland, Mole Creek, Lake Parangana, Honeycomb Caves, Railton, Sheffield, the Wild Mersey MTB trails, Borradaile Plains, Moina, Cethana, Cradle Valley, and the hikes on Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake, Horse Track, Overland Track, and everything in between before eventually heading north via Waratah, Burnie, Penguin and then into Devonport to board the ferry back to the mainland.
So, fasten your seatbelt, savor a Tasmanian single malt, and journey with us through the thrill, mishaps, and pure bliss of exploring Tasmania.
