Thank you so much for the advice ,
Yes we will go to Mona my wife already had that one inked in.
No never seen penguins so thats a look in , though am planing an Antarctic trip in a year or so so there may be a few down there

We did pirate bay to port arthur on one of those boat cruises amazing will look into weather dependant , they say they go out in all weather , see how the wife feels about that , I think theres a few lookouts and such on the way over to port arthur so will see,
Yes I will miss the west coast this trip and appreaciate the distance and road thing from past experiances , a lot of small stops and places that need you to backtrack a little really soak up time , tassie reminds me of
the south island NZ in that you can spend a lot of time not going very far.
I want to walk hobart at night/ dawn again to soak in and photograph the old buildings ,
again many thanks I'll take this all in and work it through what we will do .
regards
graham
