The Walk Bruny Island & Tasmania's South Coast was a great introduction to Tasmania which has been on my bucket list for a while now. It was fun, physically and mentally rewarding with a good dose of learning.

A very enjoyable trip. The Hartz Peak walk was a highlight. Dinners were generous. Accommodation was simple but a warm shower and clean bed were all that was required at the end of a long walk. Stacey and Jai were fantastic guides and very knowledgeable about Tasmanian history, flora and fauna.
