Otherwise, the general meet point is Tasmanian Travel & Information Centre, 20 Davey Street, Hobart or Hotel Grand Chancellor, Launceston.

You are also welcome of course to bring along your own packed lunch to enjoy on the day. If you have special dietary requirements it may be better to bring your own prepared lunch /snacks.

The weather in Tasmania is famously varied, with four distinct seasons (sometimes all occurring in one day!)

The east coast is the dry, sunny, warm side of the island. Daily maximum temperatures in summer (December to February) are between 20 to 30 degrees celsius. In winter (June to August) daily maximums are between 12 to 18 degrees celsius.

The west coast is mountains, rainforest and untouched wilderness. Rainfall is common, helping to create the stunning wilderness of Cradle Mountain, Lake St Clair & Mount Field National Parks. Daily maximum temperatures in summer are between 18 to 25 degrees Celsius. In winter the mountains look spectacular with snow on top and daily maximums are between 5 to 15 degrees Celsius.
