Don is a great location to walk the beaches...the Heads have tidal pools with a variety of sea life. It is next to the historic Don River Railway. Steam trains retrace the line along the River, giving a great fun ride. Don is also close to Launceston with its museums and wonderful Gorge trek. The Spirit of Tasmania runs from Devonport to Melbourne with great service and comfort. This location has the quiet of the country, yet close to many wonderful sights. And finally Rod and Elizabeth are the best of hosts.
