Majestic experience! Just came back from north/ south and east Tasmania.The whole coastline is breathtaking including from Devils Kitchen round Port Arthur thru this way down south to Bruny Island Lighthouse where one can gaze clearly out to Pedra Blanca.
Biggest surprise was pulling up roadside in Cygnet to inspect a Ningher canoe that aboriginal people used to open surf to said remote island and beyond.
Any visiting surfer to Tasmania can't help but trip over bottom jaw at endless empty bounty of nooks and bombies. Beating back remote tiger snake paths for slightest glimpse of next empty bay.
Biggest kept secret... Check out-(Aust Govt geo-science border lengths site)
Tassie coastline with the fiddly bits ironed out has equivalent surfing coastline from Tin Can Bay in Qld south down NSW and rounding Vic coastline ending at S.A. border.
Do the math...this humble'Holiday Isle' puts out!
Mid north east coastline compares favourably to north Qld for clear water with massive rockscapes and white sandy beaches comparable to Magnetic Island.
Whilst Mid east sand dune fronted 'surfcoast' closely resembles North NSW & Sunny Coast.
Did I mention day after Melbourne cup. We were casting snow angels,clumping snowmen and hurling snowballs.
All the while 50 kt seabreeze blew local beachgoers into favourite nooks bracing 13* surf in only boardshorts. Penguins knew better,they were fleeing the ocean in numbers.
Go figure...all stories are quite remarkably true. Hooroo!
