Solid Walking Boots

Tasmania is a bushwalking haven providing a myriad of world class treks and hikes in breathtaking national park settings. Whether you’re seeking a casual day walk around the city or a six night trek of Lake St Clair, a solid pair of walking boots will serve you well on your motorhome journey around Tasmania.

Waterproof Jacket & All Weather Clothing

It’s often said that Tasmania can experience four seasons in one day. So, don’t get caught out in the rain and be sure to bring a water proof jacket in your bag just in case! It’s also a sensible idea to pack layered clothing including thermals and jumpers to peel off on moderate days. Though winter may not be Tasmania’s warmest time of year, the sun will still heat you up quickly!

DVDS/Entertainment

A visit to the Apple Isle will see you knee-deep in pure unadulterated nature which often impacts on state-wide signal access. If you’re planning on snuggling up in the comfort of your motorhome at night, we recommend bringing along some DVDs to ensure you make the most of your on board television.

Sun Protection

No matter what time of year, the rays of the Tasmanian sun can be piercing and the UV level high. Be sure to bring along some sun protection including hats, sun cream and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun, especially when bushwalking or skiing!

Your Camera
