RV TRAVEL
NARAWNTAPU NATIONAL PARK
So , where to go first ? If you stocked-up before sailing across on the Spirit of Tasmania , you are free to head off straight away . Tassie has highlights galore , and therefore any direction is a good direction , but if you want an immediate hit of nature and wildlife , head east on B71 and then north on C740 to wonderful Narawntapu National Park . The visitor centre has facilities and information , and the Springlawn campground is nearby , with three additional campgrounds catering to most camping needs . This park is all about the wildlife , with birds galore that can be spotted through the day and Tasmanian marsupials that come out to forage in the evening and night . Please do not feed the wildlife , and always use caution when driving across the entire island as it would be tragic to injure or kill any of these unique animals .

LAUNCESTON AND TAMAR VALLEY
Continuing east , Launceston and the Tamar Valley regions are worth exploring if you have time . The Tasman Highway will deliver you to Scottsdale on a rollercoaster road that spirals on to St Helens . This is a ' must-stop ' in Tassie because to the north are the ' must explore ' delights of Binalong Bay , the Bay of Fires Conservation Area and Mount William National Park .
There is an alternate route to Mount William NP if you would like to camp there for a few nights ( suitable for tents , camper trailers , small vans and small motorhomes ). Like Narawntapu , the coastal scenery is magnificent .
