As Taswegian ensconsed in the US of A and longling for the quiet serenity of Hobart, Launceston, the east and west coast, travellers to to Tasmania will find plenty of quiet beaches, mountain walks, camping and fishing. Excellent seafood, fresh oysters, salmon, scallops and alalone abound and a trip to the Saturday market at Salamanca Place in Hobart is a must. Check out the excellent art galleries in that area too. Pleasant drive along the Tamar River valley just north of Launceston visiting the vineyards sampling good white wines is a pleasant way to spend a day. In summer there are tours and viewings of Fairy Penguins as they return to their burrows from Bass Straight each evening at Low Head, kids always enjoy this tour. Good eating at the local pub in Georgetown before the tour.
