Hobart and Tasmania in winter Don’t know if there are any Tasmanian experts here, but for sure there will be someone who knows more than me! Hopefully I’ll be in Australia visiting family next August. I’ve already travelled quite extensively in the country, but never been to Tasmania,so I’m considering it. Obviously it’s far south and I guess the weather won’t be great then….
