If Tasmania is pretty small, I may opt to rent scooters... that's what I do in Hawaii and I just love it... it's like riding a bike but cheating! LOL
thanks again for all the input! We are getting serious about planning now so we can get everything set up and know what the $$$ will be!
bikerchick68 - check out www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au if you go to the general information tab it gives a outline of whats available and links for tourists.

Scooters would be a cheap option I would think but just remember it will be a little cooler in Tasmania than Hawaii.

If you go to www.abc.net.au/news/ and go to the weather tab it will give you the weather for all state capitals so you can see what the weather is doing at this time of year in Aust. Dont forget it will be in Celsius.
