Tasmania Touring Ideas: Devonport
|
Choosing to hire a motorhome and tour Tasmania is likely to be one of the best decisions you
will ever make in your life. The island has everything, and can satisfy any kind of holiday
maker, whether they be adventure seekers, romantics or stressed out businessmen seeking
some fresh air. Pristine beaches, thick wooded forests and still blue lakes are just some of the
attractions that bring flocks of tourists here year after year. One of the easiest and cheapest
ways to tour this magnificent state is in one of Discovery Campervans motorhomes.

With its long history and rich heritage, the towns and cities here have managed to retain a
sense of old world charm that sets them apart from other urban settlements in Australia. If you
wish to choose a town as the base for your motorhome from which you tour the rest of the
state then things are going to get tricky, as each one is as special as the next. Devonport, on
the north west coast, is often a first choice for travellers, because this is where the ferry 'The
Spirit of Tasmania' docks in after making its journey over from Melbourne. Known as the
'Gateway to Tasmania', this is an amazing historical city with a wealth of attractions within a
short distance. For a more comprehensive idea of what these attractions are have a read of this
article.
If you choose to hire your motorhome here then definitely stick around the city itself and see
some of what it has to offer. There are any number of heritage buildings you can browse
around, the most popular of these being Home Hill, which is the former residence of Australias
Tasmanian Prime Minister, Joseph Lyons. There is also a maritime museum celebrating the
maritime history of the city, and you cant miss taking a look at the Devonport lighthouse.
Numerous trendy restaurants and bars will keep you entertained into the early hours, and there
are plenty of caravan parks that cater to motorhomes.
The surrounds of Devonport are stunning, with the River Mersey (on which the town is built)
providing many opportunities for adventure. Rent a canoe or a kayak and head out for a paddle,
or try your hand at some fly fishing in its icey shallows. If you want a glimpse of the strange
looking platypus, then stop in at Latrobe, known as the platypus capital of the world! Its a
pretty little town to boot, so enjoy its tree lined streets and its craft shops. If you really want to
get away from towns however then head further inland to the Great Lakes. There are lots of
campsites for motorhomes, and the striking natural beauty of this region and the exciting
activities on offer make this a popular touring option.
