How long are you down for?
I would most definitely be recommending the East Coast tourist route to tourists! Don't bother with the West Coast too much if you're short of time. Not missing out on a great deal there.
Feel free to add me to your MSN (
preludetas@hotmail.com) and I can tell you some great places to go!
When are you coming down?

not sure yet but in a few weeks...maybe month.
I'm looking for a weekend so about 2 days worth of driving I heard Cradle Mt is the go.
Any good web sites u know of?? Or any particular places on the east coast we should stay?
Looks like a awsome drive.

Check out
http://www.tasvacations.com/
These guys put together the packages for the Porsche, WRX, Ferrari etc clubs that organise tours down here. I used to help the WRX club as they have 40 odd cars come down here every 2nd year for Targa Rex.
East Coast is good.............you can generally get a great deal at Freycinet Lodge on
www.wotif.com.au. This is a great spot!
East Coast has good scenery, good seafood, good vineyards and great roads.
Don't discount the West Coast either........there are some great things to see around there, there is a bit to do at Strahan, reccomend a stay at Franklin Manor.
If you really want to go to Cradle Mountain I suggest you stay at Lemonthyme Lodge.
PM me if you would like any more info.
Cheers

Funny you should mention that.............may be sooner than you think.
Then again "ALL" of our roads down here are the equivalent if not better than the Nebo/Glorious route so I doubt my FTO will drive on QLD roads again.
Not meaning to hijack a half decent thread.............
BTW we also have 98RON BP Ultimate down here these days as well.
Cheers
