Not only fabulous walks on our Active Tasmania Tour, but very unique experiences like this wonderful Huon Boat Cruise.
Here is a wee blurb on this little darling…and a few photos from last years tour, which included Tea, Coffee and Scones with jam and cream! The Huon River was gorgeous....
La Drone was built in 1948 on the Tamar River, Launceston, Tasmania. She is a 38ft motor cruiser and lived her whole life in Tasmania. In French, the meaning of "La Drone" is Bandit or Thief which we like to think means she steals your heart as you step into her beautiful interior. Built traditionally and with carvel planking she is made up of Celery Top pine and boasts a magnificent 1950's décor and blackwood fit out that takes you back in time and makes you feel right at home the moment you step aboard. She is able to carry 12 passengers, with a draft of 0.9m and a spacious, luxurious and comfortable all weather fully enclosed cabin and open aft deck, she is perfect for intimate cruises.
We take a short tour of the local Wooden Boat building factory where centuries old building methods are not only taught but used to restore and replicate traditional sailing and motor vessels of yesteryear. Skill appreciation!
