Tasmania is the smallest and only island state in Australia. It is a wonderful biking country with fabulous beaches and magnificent mountains. Our 8-day tour takes us from Hobart the capital to Launceston with a rest day at Freycinet National Park where we will enjoy a close encounter with unique Australian wildlife. The roads are very quiet, hilly and very scenic. A reasonable level of fitness is required
