Why on earth would you spend three months in Tasmania? Can’t you drive across it in a few hours? This is what our friends and family asked us as we set off to spend three months in the Apple Isle. As it turns out three months was not long enough to appreciate what this island state has to offer.After a pleasant journey aboard the Spirit of Tasmania across what is known as the treacherous Bass Strait we unloaded at Devonport in the north of Tasmania. We had no real set plan and headed off through the centre deciding to take every back road we could. We soon learnt that most roads in Tasmania are back roads by mainland standards and although it may look like a main road on a map it doesn’t meant that it is.
