What a wonderful experience roaming around choosing our own tree! Definitely worth a visit, trees are moving quite quickly so don’t leave it to long!

We have been enjoying so many wonderful hands-on experiences with the kids in Tassie such as Hollybank Widerness Adventures: the zipline was a really safe but exciting and memorable experience for the whole family.

And you can’t miss Launceston’s Cataract Gorge: it has just about everything – great playground, chairlift, swing bridge, swimming pool, peacocks, cliff walks...

There are some amazing farm stays and visits that give kids the opportunity to live and breathe being a local, like Hillwood Berries (pick your own), Robin Hood’s Well Farm Stay (feed the horses) and Elvenhome Eco-Farmstay (the chooks get fed very well).

There are so many shops our kids absolutely love in Tassie!

Stanley’s Providore 24: a mix of toys and lollies, plus wine for the big kids.

In Latrobe, Reliquaire – a unique place that has everything you could think of including toys, a cafe and fairytale adventure.

For delicious gelato, handmade in Tasmania, Van Diemens Land Creamery: whenever the kids see the sign… no one can stop them!

And in Launceston’s Bread + Butter for their croissants and jam by the fire. We need to get one too, just to make sure they are OK for the kids to eat! We enjoy ours dipped into a batch brew coffee (check out the self-serve batch brew system!).

When it comes to natural attractions you are spoilt for choice in Tasmania!

We definitely recommend paying a visit to Corinna. Step back in time by staying in this old village and immersing yourself in the Tarkine wilderness with activities like bushwalks, canoeing and river cruises. The hospitality here is truly amazing.

If your kids love a waterfall, the Liffey Falls are a great, easy adventure for the whole family. From the top car park there’s a beautiful and easy walk with a surprising range of waterfalls.

And of course, the striking Mole Creek caves: Lilli says it’s been one of the highlights of her year!

There are so many amazing markets and festivals in Tasmania that make for a great family outing! Our favourites are:

- Harvest Launceston Saturday market: it’s so much fun buying produce, and a treat of course, with live music.

- Evandale Sunday market: the range of stalls is amazing and great for a bargain, plus there's a little horse-and-cart ride for the children.

- Devonport’s Providore Place Friday Twilight Market: a great night out for everyone.

- Deloraine’s WinterFire festival: staying up late for live performances, toasting marshmallows by fires, mulled apple juice and hot chocolate for the kids, and mulled wine for adults.

- Hobart’s Festival of Bright Ideas: a wonderful annual winter event for the whole family, with a lovely mix of activities and Salamanca Market nearby to explore as well.

- A local Flower Show or Poultry Show: Local Country Women’s Association and Breed Associations are always holding annual Shows. We find them from all the roadside signs and also local media, but they are always a great day out.

Swinging into Sunday ... Just another weekend in Tassie. Very grateful to have a wonderful weekend away at a cracking Airbnb just 15 mins out of Launceston.

Whether its a paid site or a free camp, there are no shortage of places to stay around the state as you begin to uncover what it has to offer. There are too many to list, but here are a selection of our favourite locations:

Devonport’s Mersey Bluff Caravan Park: amazing service and amenities, pet friendly and a stone’s throw from the beach (patrolled in summer) and skate park. Watching Spirit of Tasmania come and go is also a highlight.

Longford Riverside Caravan Park: really lovely people in a gorgeous setting on the South Esk and Macquarie rivers.

Bridport Seaside Caravan Park: great vibe, beautiful beach, lots of space for the kids to play including at a massive playground next door.

Mayfield Bay: a secluded, free camping gem on an east coast beach with no through traffic.

Cosy Corner: the rocks and sand; the water; the trees… what else is there to say

Top Camp: at Musselroe Bay. When it's not too windy, it's a magical little spot that you might be lucky enough to have to yourself.

A new adventure is always just around the corner in Tassie!

Having lived across Australia (Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, South East Queensland and lots of regional places in between) , what stands out for us about Tasmania is:

- The diversity and concentration of Tassie. So much to enjoy in such close proximity. Tassie is constantly surprising us by what is around the corner (literally).
- How lovely, welcoming and proud Tasmanians are of their State
- Everything is really easy – affordable, less traffic, no stress
- We spend time doing the things we want to with the kids, rather than the things we need to.”

We can be grabbing a coffee, or picking up some fresh produce from a farmers market in the morning and literally within an hour we will be at a deserted beach, national park, waterfall, world heritage site, or being shown around a farm by one of Tassie’s friendly and very talented farmers.

We have always loved Tasmania - first as a family holiday destination and now to live! The people and place are just incredible - the nicest we have encountered anywhere in Australia. Everything is really easy: affordable, less traffic, no stress. It’s safe, healthy and you’re amongst nature and wildlife everywhere you turn. There’s so much to enjoy in such close proximity – Tassie is constantly surprising us.

This was our first trip to Ben Lomond National Park. The entrance to the park is breathtaking and like the rest of Tassie, this incredible location is a short drive from Launceston. We headed up there for the first snowfall of the season. If you look carefully, you can still see the boards on top of the car! Change in seasons and outdoor activities in progress!!!

We are Lisa, Simon and our kids Lilli, 7 and Benny, 5.

Lisa grew up in Melbourne and has lived and worked across cities and regions supporting business, council and community leaders to succeed. Simon grew up across regional New South Wales, later studying Ag. Economics in Sydney before working with public and private sector leaders to make Australia a better place.

We founded Enrich Ventures to work with Government, business and community to enrich the lives of as many Australians as possible. Lilli and Benny have a great time (mostly) coming along for the ride as Enrich allows us to meet so many amazing people and see some incredible parts of Australia.

We have been travelling to Tassie for business since 2017, but moved in January 2021 and are so excited to share our adventures with you!

This selfie was taken on one of our many walks… it’s always a struggle to get everyone to smile at the same time!
