Tasmania, Australia.. if you like nature, turquoise beaches, colourful boulders, unique rock formations, and fresh raspberries in a bucket.. :)
To make this group trip successful, I imposed 2 "rules."
1. Small Luggage - Each person was allowed to bring only 1 "cabin" luggage. Sounds simple? No, it was a challenge for a 9-day trip. But it made it easier for us to load and unload, and not overload our mini van good for 8.
2. Pre-assigned Roommates - A change in roommate for every change in accommodation, my husband and i, included. This allowed everyone to bond and become really good friends, and avoided any small group formations and conflicts.
It worked, and all 8 of us had a great time! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you Peter!
DeleteGreat Share!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that Australia is a worth-seeing country which is known for its natural beauty. Sydney Opera House was the first place which I visited when I had gone to Australia couple of years back and now permanently settled over there.
Its beauty, comfort and luxurious hotels had lured me completely that couldn't leave this beautiful country ever.
Keep posting!
Thank you, Marlyn! Lucky you.. you're now living in that beautiful country! :) We could only wish for now.. but maybe someday, destiny would bring us to settle there as well :) Cheers!

Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing! Love your itinerary! Would you mind to share the full tertiary for your Tasmania trip? Will be heading there June this coming year. Are the roads steep and dark to drive there? I'm a noob driver. =.='' Is there any special place there you love the most? Your post was the best i have seen so far. Neat and organised.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, I'm glad my post was helpful, and thank you! :) I'm sorry, I don't really keep a full itinerary of our trips. It was a not a packed trip.. so aside from the places captioned in the pictures, the only ones I remember we visited were Salamanca Market and Constitution Dock in Hobart, Wineglass Bay in Freycinet/Coles Bay, and the city center of Launceston. The roads were not steep, from what I remember. The outskirts were dark at night, but we always drove long distance during the day. I love the Bay of Fires the most.. You should not miss that :)
DeleteHope this helps a bit! Enjoy your holiday Christine! :)
Thank you Jamie! Bay of Fires ok! =D Will not miss that. Haha
DeleteHello, the photos are beautiful. which car rental company did you used?

DeleteHi Jamie... I'm planning a 5-day trip to Tazmania after a few days in Melbourne and then back to Melbourne again after Tazmania before heading back SG. Just would like to get your recommendation of those "must-visit" places for the 5-day trip.
ReplyDeleteHi Wee Keong, my personal favourites are Freycinet National Park (Honeymoon Bay, Wineglass Bay, etc) and Bay of Fires. A lot of people recommend the Cradle Mountain area, though it wasn't my favourite because I am not so much into hiking.
