1. Pigging out at Oyster farms! You see a sign by the road, you drive in, you indulge. At A$14 per dozen, this is where I had the most extraordinarily fresh and wonderfully inexpensive oysters ever.
2. Kangaroo feeding at Natureworld, Bicheno. My heart turned into goo when these cute little darlings gently held my hand while I handed out their feed. I could spend a whole afternoon just watching. This reserve also houses Tassie devils, wombats, wallabies, a myriad of birds and reptiles and mammals that had been saved from further injury.
3. Loitering around Honeymoon Bay at Freycinet National Park, and be surrounded by the most inviting, and amazingly clear blue waters in the world. Uggggh, I know I could never get enough of this. Once at the Freycinet National Park, there are various other trails with different levels of difficulty and length that you can try out. Wineglass Bay is another famous spot which would take up to 4 hours of hiking to and fro.
4. Penguin watching at the blowhole, Bicheno. At about 8pm when it gets pitch dark, the Little (a.k.a. Fairy or Blue) Penguins come out to play. You could go on an organised tour but we just stayed low at the blow hole and waited. Sure enough these cheeky little creatures would animatedly creep up the shore into their breeding burrows, between bushes and stone cracks. Watch out for them on the road too. Switch off your headlights to allow them to crossover, and you can see them up close and personal. I still get the giggles each time I think of how they wiggle their furry little bodies.
5. Charter a boat at Louisville and you can marvel at Tassie's landscapes of undulating hills, raw vegetation, and tumbling cliffs. Maria Island which sits right across the sea is also nice to look at from the waters.
Remember that where ever you are and whatever you do at Tasmania, just take your time...
