Hey everybody.
So I've been in Tasmania since a week now. I'm travelling with a friend in his van, exploring the island. So far we've only been on the westcoast - Bay of Fires, Lagoon beach, Friendly beaches and Wineglass bay. We're staying at a hostel in Hobart at the moment and booked in two nights. The plan is now to look for farmjobs - we already have an offer but since we prefer not to work on contract (i.e. getting paid based on the amount of fruit you're picking) we're trying to find something else.
Tips for backpackers: there is only one ferry going to Tasmania, Spirit of Tasmania. The cheapest ticket is the day ticket which costs 123 dollars and you will arrive to Devonport. The trip itself takes 8 h but the facilities are very good and they have a range of activities throughout the whole trip such as cinema and live music performances. If you book the flight couple of weeks/a month in advance, you can get it for 60-70 AUD.
Anyway, here is a video capturing our first week. Unfortunately, the pictures and videos don't do the reality justice. The surroundings are just beyond amazing - this island is like a mini-version of NZ according to some people.
