King island

King Island is a little island off the northwest coast of Tasmania. It is approximately 60 km long by 35 km wide, has more wallabies than people, is very laid back, nobody locks their doors and keys can safely be left in ignitions. Our rental accommodation was open when we got there, and we had no keys. They have three policemen but they are there to keep an eye on the fishermen rather than the landlubbers!

We went with friends Jos and Daphne for four days on the island, which is very peaceful and quite interesting.

We hired a 4WD which turned out to be a twin cab Ute, not the easiest to get UP into, but we got plenty of practice over the four days.
