Last Monday, I went on a wonderful day tour of Bay of Fires, along with two interstate tourists in a friendly, intimate 10-seater coach.

I have been on lots of tours, but this was top-notch and right up there with the best of them in organisation, flexibility, commentary and value for money.

I shall never forget the rainforest and beach walks.

So leave the car at home, travel by bus - there is no fuss or driving strain, and see Tasmania with new eyes.
