5 Best Campervan Adventures with Hobart

5 Best Campervan Adventures with Hobart For all those adventure freaks and travel globe hoppers exploring mystical and magical Hobart(second oldest city) by campervan is exhilarating. We are a group of bag packers on an expedition and mission to enjoy and experience a true view of Tasmania in its natural glory. We booked (eight of us) a renowned campervan services 2 in number for a tour of 10 days. We started with New Norfolk and visited Strahan and took the famous Gordon River Cruises to Sarah Island to Cradle Mountain-Lake, St.Clair National Park.

Furthering to Launceston (Valley Of The Senses) and to St. Helens a working fishing port famous for the Bay of Fires Stretch of Beaches for a great sea-dip and sun bath. Our evenings were full of excitement at Bicheno with evening spent at fairy penguin tour(Swansea),tour of the Bark Mill and the Museum. Followed by the Port Arthur Historic Site and returning to Hobart to enjoy the city's waterfront,lovely gardens,heritage buildings and art scene.

I will be talking about 5 important destinations we covered as frenzy-crazy expeditious eightsome travel bugs: By hiring campervan in Hobart, our first day of the journey started at the wee hours of early Saturday mor Islanders way back in 1808 Norfolk has a very rich history to share.

The Inns run from pre-medieval era,the Anglican Church and some few historic and heritage sites are great visits for your itinerary. Betty King's grave as a first white woman to explore Australian soil in Magra, New Norfolk is worth a pick. The drive to Pulpit Rock and the serene exotic views of the river was certainly a great stress buster. A cozy dinner at Tynwald is highly recommended giving you that feel of going back to 18th century...oh...it was simply awesome!

Next day early morning we headed to Lyell Highway for Strahan a fishing port located on Macquarie Harbour (once upon a time a wild town) with its Esplanade shopping peeks and; Strahan with its wild life in spectacle was stupendously amazing. The Ocean beach,Gordon-Franklin Wild Rivers National Park and Henty Sand Dunes were the fun we were all looking forward. These all took our entire day and after a nice snooze in the nite energised us to head for a great trip next day.

Early next day we speeded to Cradle Mountain National Park (Strahan) and the irresistible spectacular Cradle Mountain-Lake and the six-day bushwalk on the Overland Track. Magnificent St. Clair National Park with its natural wonders along with guided tour on foot, canoe rides,4WD and fishing tours hooked us to gratify our philandering spirits in wilderness. After spending a full day at Cradle Mountain with lots of outdoor loitering and gallery visit and dining exotic local cuisine at Launceston we called off for the day to relax in our campervan in the open moonlight.

Early morning we routed to St. Helens via Tasman Highway northeast coast of Tasmania.

Magnificent picturesque town with great beaches and huge sand dunes. St. Helens is adjacent to Humbug Point and St. Helens Point with extensive recreation areas. Halting at this exciting town we were not to miss the famous Sun coast Jazz Festival as we were right in time for the festival.

Our next destination was to head to Bicheno an hours drive from St.Helens. Bicheno is known for its whaling and sealing industries. Also famous for crayfish and penguins in addition to the Tour of Governor Island Marine Reserve, walk ways on the beautiful north east coast,or exploring the Freycinet National Park south of Bicheno. The hang over of Bicheno was calmed down with a siesta in the campervan sleep.

Our short drive via Tasman Highway to charming Swansea town on Great Oyster Bay compelled us to have a peek of their heritage buildings, museums,view of Freycinet National Park and fascinating old buildings of mid 1800s. The exhaustion of our tour and traveling was taking a toil on our stamina and energy. We had a day called for a Rest day.

Next day we took on the roads to north east coast via Tasman and Arthur Highways for Port Arthur to see the prison buildings,the officers' homes,the dockyard,church and hospitals. Artifacts from convict days, recovered from archaeology withheld our excitement and anxiety to stay for a while in this town.This town came into lime-lite in 1996 for 35 people being shot and killed. Late evening we started for Hobart spending the night at Hobart in the campervan. Next morning we had a vibrant tour round the port with very rich and diverse history and riving arts scene. Located on Derwent River and foot of Mount Wellington the city boasts of spectacular views of 1804 penal colony,convict heritage and city of books and bookshops.

Adios! was the word we could rhyme and chime ending this mesmerizing remising journey of Hobart in awe for another to start with exploring more of Australia. Men may come and men may Go but Hobart shall always be soul rendering! http://www.aussiecampervans.com/
