SPIRIT of Tasmania Ferry, is more a CRUISE ship than a ferry. Watch the video & you'll see.

Sailing on the FERRY, the Spirit of Tasmania, is an overnight trip. With Spirit of Tasmania you can experience all the fun and excitement of sea travel. Feel your holiday start the moment you step on board and relax!




There are 2 Ferries, The Spirit of Tasmania I and Spirit of Tasmania II — They are more cruise ships than ferries — with sleeping accommodation & a variety of amenities and features such as restaurants, bars, shop etc to make the Bass Strait crossing a pleasant experience.

When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, Tasmania has it all. From soaring mountains and untamed wilderness to spectacular coastlines and deep river gorges, spectacular beauty.
There are few places where you can lose yourself in the thick of the world’s last temperate wilderness, discover towering waterfalls and rugged mountains, or leave a solitary trail of footprints on pristine white sand before taking a dip at one of the world’s best beaches … all in one day.





In Tasmania, it’s possible to do all this and more.
Thanks to its compact size, most of the state’s natural beauty spots are within relatively easy reach. Tasmania is a unique and beautiful island to explore. Its rich history takes visitors on a wild trip, covering prehistoric rock formations, untamed wilderness, ancient Aboriginal sites, European settlement and a convict period – before discovering modern day Tasmania.

FUN at the BEACH In the "Land Down Under" at the bottom of the World !




Tasmania is MUCH MORE than just TAZ, the Tasmania Devil, Warner Bros 'lovable' cartoon character.
Tasmania is very beautiful island. It has a very diverse landscape comprising rugged mountains (snow capped in winter) and lakes, dense rainforest, fantastic beaches with white sands, beautiful coastline and tranquil rural countryside. The beauty and uniqueness of Tasmania gives it so much to offer and it has become very popular with tourists. It might be a small island, but 3 days, would not even begin to let you see everything there is to see. You would need at least two 2 weeks to start to appreciate some of it. Approximately 40 per cent of the state is made up of National Parks, half of this area being World Heritage Listed temperate wilderness on the west coast. Cape Grim Weather Station, Tasmania… boasts “The Cleanest Air in the World”



Airlines run a busy daily schedule and service 4 main airports in Tasmania. Burnie / Wynyard, Devonport, Launceston & Hobart.
The overnight FERRY, the Spirit of Tasmania operates between Melbourne and Devonport (Tasmania), It sails daily from both locations most nights and it is an overnight trip. Step on board and relax! (See Video of this exciting FERRY)

I hope you enjoy the video, "Fun at the Beach" It is very hard to capture such PRISTINE beauty in all its glory, but I wanted to at least try and share it with you. More next time...from Mary The Supergranny.

G'Day from the land of TAZ


Hi, it's Mary, The Supergranny here.


In My first post, I told you that I live in Tasmania.

Tasmania is an Island State of Australia.
We are situated south to the very bottom of Australia

We have much cooler weather than most of the northern states, but very beautiful scenery. We have good rainfall & lush growth.

Many of you will never have heard of Tasmania. Those who HAVE heard of Tasmania, probably only know ONE thing about us, namely Tasmania is the home of TAZ. Who is TAZ? He is the 'not so lovable' Cartoon Character, made famous by Warner Bros.
One question often asked is "What is the size of the Tasmania Devil?"

So for your interest, I have made a short video, where the Supergranny introduces you to REAL Tasmania Devils. Like many other of Australian Animals, the Tasmania Devil is a Marsupial. Marsupials are mammals, characterized by a distinctive 'pouch', in which the females carry their young through early infancy. Taz is the largest carnivorous marsupial in Australia.

The Supergranny says "IT'S TIME !!"


Hi, many of you know me as Mary Bosveld The Supergranny.

Over the last 10 years I have taught myself a lot about Graphic Arts & lately I have taught myself Videoing & Video Editing...and I am still learning..but I really love what I am doing.

BUT when it comes to Blogs I know absolutely NOTHING about how or where to start learning.

Well, it's TIME !!

I find it very frustrating that I don't understand or know anything about doing my own blog. I badly want to learn. I know progress won't be fast like you younger ones, but I hope some of you will please encourage me in my quest to conquer blogging. Just a simple blog is all I want to achieve for now...All the fancy stuff can come later.

I am going to make my blog info simple..There'll be nothing profound here. So what am I going to chat to you about?? I live in Tasmania, Australia, but vacation in Michigan quite regularly. SO I am just going to talk about "living at the bottom of the World"
I will intersperse my info with appropriate videos, clips or photos.

If you have some tips that you think will help me, please make them SIMPLE,
because I really am starting from zero understanding.

Warmly from
Mary The Supergranny
