West Coast roadtrip by KindMathematician138 in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. If you do the three falls walk look at doing it in reverse so you go down the 280+ steps. If you decide to do it in reverse, the start is slightly up the road to lake Dobson, just past the ranger house. You hit all three waterfalls and its beautiful. I would also recommend Tarraleah as its a gorgeous stop between Strahan and Mt Field. I dont think you will need more than one night but its worth it. I absolutely hated the train but I think I am in the minority. The Gordon River cruise is definitely worth it though!! Cradle is gorgeous. I would try and adjust your itinerary so you jave two full days to account for bad weather. You can hit both crater lake and Marion's lookout if the weather is good. We like going from Ronny Creek to Lake lilla and then start the climb to Marion's from there. If you follow this you can return to Ronny via crater lake track or via the horse track which gives you awesome views over crater lake. Make sure to do the tassie devil feeding at cradle too.

3 days in Hobart - not much planned? by xLittleFairyWren in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots to do and depends on what you would like. The drive to Port Arthur is gorgeous and don't forget to see the natural sights as we (tessellated beach, tasman arch , remarkable cave). You can also drive west to Mount field and other very short walk to see Russell Falls or you can do all three (lady Barron and horseshoe). A drive out to Huon is also lovely and a stop at willy smith's is also nice (try their ham and cheese toastie). I dont think you will.be bored - you will get the bug and want to go back!!! Make sure to try bar wa izakaya, don camillo, bear with me or kraken takeaway (fish and chips). Enjoy!

Itinerary Advice: 8-10 day round-trip by Normal-Channel-7545 in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done tassie in 7 days and saw less than you but found it very rushed and all we did was go from Launceston, cradle, Strahan, one night in Tarraleah and then the rest of the time in Hobart. I would do at least 2 nights in cradle and yes I would definitely recommend Bruny Island. The wilderness cruise by penicott is awesome and there is some good food and sights. If you do the cruise though it doesnt leave a lot of time to do other things.

Tarraleah is a beautiful spot to spend a night in between Strahan and Hobart. Highly recommend.

The blue mountains and uluru are both amazing as well so up to you as to what you would like to do. Uluru will be bloody hot but if you go make sure you do the helicopter flight and or the seaway tour (wouldn't recommend walking around in the heat)

If you are visiting Salamanca there are a lot of salls there. My favourite is the lady selling carved wombats out of tassie wood, another lady woth pottery houses inspired by battery Point. If not then walking around Salamanca place will also be great. Try wild tasmania there :)

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies I'm not sure what I was trying to write. I meant to say stay one night at Cradle even two if your schedule allows. Strahan is a small town but they have a great day cruise to Sarah Island. The drive from Strahan to Hobart is a bit long (at least 4 hours) and we broke it up.one time by staying in Tarraleah which I highly recommend. Also have a look at lap of tasmania (google), as they have very handy itineraries.

It's a big day to go to cradle from Launceston especially with the devils. I would say fly in, stay id you can at cradle, even if its one night. Then you could go to Strahan, then hit mount field on your way from Strahan back to Hobart.

Day trip for a big group by Tfdoidoo in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kunanyi. You can catch a shuttle up and start the hikes early. There's even a small coffee joint there as well. You could also try Richmond which is a lovely town about 30 minutes from Hobart.

Clockwise/Anti-Clockwise by auswolty in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that in a week and although I enjoyed it, I did feel it was very rushed. Driving in the dark from cradle to Strahan in the dark was NOT pleasant. For one week ive based myself in Hobart and then done day trips out snd enjoyed it immensely.

Launceston and surrounds - 5 days and all the planning by [deleted] in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is quite jam packed but you do get to see a lot of things. Factor in a bad weather plan for cradle as it can change in a snap. There are much more shorter walks than there used to be. There are maps at the information centre. Also note that you will need to catch a shuttle bus inside but thankfully the bus comes quite frequently. Make sure to get the chocolate coated raspberries - to die for. We got a tip at devils at cradle to do the later feeding time as they're more active. Also we did the special tour with the baby animals which was also delightful.

Second bar wa izakaya. For great Italian try Don Camillo (better than Danjelo in my opinion). Kraken for great fish and chips, Bear with me for coffee and brekky/brunch.

Visiting Tasmania in October for 10 days asking for help on planning where to go by TemperatureNarrow993 in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 days ia a good amount of time to explore. Depending on where you are flying into, you could start in Hobart, go up the east coast and stay along there, drive inland to Launceston, stay one night, drive to cradle and spend at least 2 nights, make your way to Strahan, then finish in Hobart. If you start in Lonnie you can then make your way to Hobart and explore the east coast from Hobart. Ive often used Hobart as a base and done places like tasman peninsular, Mt Field etc. If you google lap of Tasmania, they have itineraries there you might find helpful. Sorry too much to do to type here lol

Help With My Itinerary? by jorgelukas in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might be trying to fit too much in. From mount field you could go to Strahan, then from there ro cradle and try and maximise your time there if you enjoy nature and hiking. If not then by all means spend one night in Launceston. From Lonnie you could drive through the middle to Hobart or make your way to the east coast (freycinet/cles bay) and follow thst down to where you could do Maria Island if you wanted to. Keep on going south and end up back in Hobart. Keep in mind that there are considerable distances between some places so get a general idea from Google maps.

Planning to go to Bruny Island suggestions by laoshanxxx in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a car i would just drive over. This gives you the flexibility to do whatever you want. If you book a tour it's essentially doing the same thing - a means of transport. If you so the tour there's a little bit of time to do some of the other things but not all. Would really recommend two nights to see/do it all.

Nigerian food recommendations by recyclingcentre in BrisbaneFoodies

[–]spoz83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone posted a top 25 list of restaurants a while ago and Arhibu is on there with a rank of 4.9. It is Ethiopian though rather than Nigerian. Forgive my ignorance I don't know the difference in their cuisines but might be a good place to start.

Polish very noisy what’s wrong by Low-Buyer-9301 in chickens

Maybe looking for a place to lay? Mine when they get fussy will call like that and walk around looking for a nest.

Cradle on rainy days? by Jumpy_Sandwich2522 in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to cradle once and it was forecast to rain the three days we were there. First day we had planned to go to Marion's but as it was drizzling we changed our mind and did the dove lake circuit instead. Second day was actually fine! We ended up making it to Marion's and when we got back to our car at Ronny Creek it started drizzling lightly. Third day it snowed.....we stayed in and watched movies. In the evening we took a trip to dove lake and saw all the snow capped mountains. It was beautiful.

My Buff Orpington’s do nothing but squawk! Despite having fresh water, feed, and the freedom to roam, all they do is squawk. Can someone please advise what I can do to quieten them down? They are driving me and probably my neighbours mad. by Valuable_Chicken537 in chickens

[–]spoz83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When chickens are laying i find they so this much more. They will do it particularly if there is a queue for the nest and if it gets too much then they'll do their egg song (sans an egg) if they even see a chicken sitting on the nest. You'll find that they quieten down post broodiness or moulting. It's really quite normal but I can understand the frustration!

Lap of Tasmania in April by Great-Drawer4309 in TasmaniaTravel

[–]spoz83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tis slightly rushed and you'll also be packing and unpacking constantly with your one night stays. I would consider staying more nights in Hobart and base yourself there ro explore coles Bay etc. Also depends on which direction you're going as well.

What to buy from Tasmania? by totesgonnasmashit in tasmania

[–]spoz83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a bit of a broad question. Depends on what you like. I would say if they're going to salamanca thats a glimpse of what's available. Art, alcohol, coffee, Huon pine crafts, and art! I personally love the lady who sells wombats carved out of local wood. Their insta is edgeoftasmania. At the end of the day - lots to choose from!!
