We went to Tassie in November. We took our old 911 over on the Spirit. They have some of the best driving roads in Australia down there. What a blast it was. We were there for 10 days and only got to do Devonport, Launceston, the east coast, Port arthur, Hobart & the Huon Valley. Then back up the guts via the Convict Trail (I think it's called). Did Hollybanks Treetop Adventure out of Launceston. That was great. Did the Airwalk down the Huon Valley. That was awesome as well. Beautiful scenery, fabulous local produce for lunch every day, nice people, and did I mention some of the best driving roads in the country?

We ran out of time. Hope to head back soon for another week and a bit and do the south, the highland lakes and the west coast. Fly/drive this time.

As far as the aurora goes, the kp index prediction is for the next few days is 2 - 3 , so you might get lucky if you're a fair way south. Generally, to see it in Tasmania, you need around 5 - 6 according to the kp index chart . We missed out.
