On January 1st, 2011, my family and I started off the year by flying to Tasmania to visit some relatives and explore a state none of us had been to before. We actually caught the first flight of the year for that plane company, so there were free calendars in the backs of all the seats! We then stayed with our relatives in Nietta, which is a small village south-west of Devonport. While we were there, we spent most of our time exploring the local area. Tasmania is a beautiful state; the forests and rivers are amazing and such a large portion of the state still hasn’t been built up yet. If you’re the sort of person that likes to getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet, you wouldn’t run out of places to go in Tasmania! There’s some fascinating wildlife, too, as you can see in the photos with this post. If you’re interested in seeing some Tasmanian Devils, we went to Wings Wildlife Park and that was great for seeing native animals in a safe environment.
Highlight: Preston Falls was beautiful so that would be my recommendation for anyone planning to travel to Tasmania!
