Dieter, liebe Grüsse aus Australien,

Is the 8-10 days just for Tasmania? It sounds like your overall trip is longer than that.

If so - will you have a car? In that case you can take the ferry from Melbourne in the evening, arriving 7am the next morning and be climbing at Coles Bay later that afternoon.

Will you be camping? The road into the camping and many of the cliffs at Coles Bay is sandy, about 3km, and I have seen normal 2wd cars in there but recommended for 4wd.

I suggest 5-7 days at Coles Bay then perhaps take 3 days to move further south and do some of the sea stacks on the Tasman Peninsula, which will be an adventure but memorable.

If instead of taking the ferry from Melbourne you were flying into Hobart and renting a car from there, then you might include Mt Wellington, although I've never climbed there.
