ToursByLocals - a perfect description of what I can offer you. A 6th generation Tasmanian, born in Launceston, you can't find a more local tour guide than myself. I have been working in the tourism industry, specifically selling Tasmania as a holiday destination, for more than 30 years, and my product knowledge on all things Tasmania is vast and comprehensive. During my tours I share my knowledge with you and go into great depth on any subject about Tasmania, from how the island was shaped and formed, to our indigenous people - how they got here, how they lived, what happened through British colonisation to how their communities live today. I can talk about our native animals, describing how they look and live, their life cycle and breeding habits. All our major industries - mining, agriculture, tourism, fishing, forestry, education, racing, manufacturing etc etc. I can discuss all our trees, where you find specific species, what they were used for. How we generate electricity, social issues, politics. I offer a large variety of discussion topics, so we won't run out of things to talk about on tour (so unless you tell me to be quiet - I do talk all day!) I am passionate about Tasmania. I love the quiet wilderness locations and finding perfect spots where there seems to be no-one else and you are only one experiencing the beauty Tasmania has to offer. Cradle Mountain National Park, Bay Of Fires, Freycinet National Park and Wineglass Bay. Hidden away waterfalls, rainforest walks, secluded beaches. Tasmania has it all. I also love to eat and Launceston was settled specifically to develop agriculture, so if it is food and wine you are into then there are a multitude of options available in the Tamar Valley and Meander Valley. Being one of Australia's earlier settlements, history and beautiful sandstone villages are abundant in the north of Tasmania, so if history is your passion then Tasmania is the perfect location. Wildlife Parks offer a variety of our native animals, especially Tasmanian Devils and Quolls (sorry no Tasmanian Tigers for viewing but if you see one yell out). Low Head offers the opportunity to watch Fairy Penguins come ashore nightly. Underground caves, deep gorges, fertile countryside, amazing lookouts. Tasmania is so diverse, there is so much to see and do. With my experience I offer popular tour itineraries that I have developed over many years of tour guiding, but if you have a specific destination or theme I can easily develop a Customised Tour just for you. I welcome you to book one of my tours.

Let your eyes follow the perfect curve where white sand meets turquoise waters, and then you will know why Wineglass Bay in the Freycinet National Park is consistently rated amongst the top ten beaches in the world. The 30 minute uphill walk rewards you with breathtaking views over the beach below. Those with a good level of fitness may choose to then continue down to the beach itself (steeper track). But if your fitness levels are lower, then experience the white east coast sand at Friendly Beaches. Scoop it up in your hand to see the clean fluffy white sand that sparkles with minute crystals. We also visit Cape Tourville for commanding views of the coastal cliffs, as well as an amazing vista of where sky meets ocean on the horizon. Facing the Great Oyster Bay, we visit Honeymoon Bay for photo opportunities of pink granite outcrops. Time permitting we may also stop at the Freycinet Marine Farm for a chance to purchase fresh seafood, .
