Tasmania lies about 250km across Bass Strait from the mainland. Most visitors fly here and there are plenty of economical flights available into Launceston and Hobart.
Those who want to travel with their own vehicle take the Spirit of Tasmania ferry between Geelong and Devonport.

Tasmania is a very popular tourism destination and it is best to lock in your travel plans early. This particularly applies to travel on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service. Bookings on this service are often filled 6 to 8 months in advance, especially for “tall” (over 2.1m high) vehicles like camper vans.
