My Discovery Off the southeastern coast of Tasmania. January through March tend to be cooler in Tasmania than on the Australian mainland. June through September can be cool and wet. Lodging ranges from campgrounds to four-star cottages. Unless you stay somewhere that supplies food, stock up on goodies at general stores in Adventure Bay, Alonnah or Dennes Point.
Car ferries depart several times daily from Kettering.
Frequent air services link Tasmania with the mainland. Breakers that roll in from the Southern Ocean onto totally deserted beaches. Absolutely no nightlife. There are no banks or cash machines on the island. Only a strip of sand joins the two land masses that form this island, and they are populated only by rustic vacation hamlets.
