I SO want to go to Tassie – just love it there and has been too long. Cannot wait till my baby girl is old enough to enjoy it and love it as much as we do. I think we will still go this year for a few weeks

Great timing. Whilst we’re not going to Tassie over the Xmas holidays, we hope to go in the first quarter of next year. Great tips, thank you.

We visit family in Hobart several times a year and have driven past Long Beach Playground so many times and never stopped. We will definitely be stopping for a play next time we are in town. Another free place to visit is The Courtyard at Salamanca on a Friday evening to attend the weekly Rektango gathering. With local bands playing funk and soul, everyone, including kids, can dance their feet off.
