Hi folks I am a Canadian going to Australia next year at this time.
One thing I want to do is see Tasmania.
I think I will allot about a week. I am not sure whether to rent a
car or go on a budget tour. I am not able to do the hiking thing so
this would be quite tame.
If there are any Tassies in here with ideas let me know.
I will fly into Hobart from Adelaide

Cheers


A week in Tassie isn't very long especially if you are not driving, here are
a couple of sites that may help you decide what to do.

We were in Tassie for the sixth time last August and some of the things we
did were the Peppermint Bay cruise from Hobart, the ABT railway fron Strahan
to Queenstown, a tour of Woolnorth (this is the top western corner of
Tasmania about as faraway from Hobart as you can get and still be on the
main island), Woolmers near Longford (there is a fantastic rose garden
there). Try to be in Hobart on a Saturday for the Salamanca market.
