Latest Weather Observations Launceston
i remember one christmas about 12yrs ago, i went to tassie to visit friends for a week.
2 days after christmas and it was snowing! so cold i would sit in front of the fireplace while i rang home and sydney was having summer bushfires
my suggestion is when you get there hit kathmandu/paddy pallin for a couple of good items of polartek - unless you have a rei or northface where you are
but im sure you will climatise soon enough
dont worry soudan its not as bad as it sounds just remember you want to be in the water anyway and that can be the warmest place on some days
as for snow at chistmas we had a prefect day 2 years ago when we spent the morning in the warm sun at the waters edge then the arvo up the mountain playing in the snow.
anyway when are you heading down soudan? the diving is great at the moment with great vis
Soudan - you are way lucky!
Tassie has AWESOME diving... it is some of my fav diving in Oz. The place is more colorful then the GBR, great fish life, awesome vis, drops offs and some nice wrecks, it's all there. I have done all my diving in Bicheno and around Eagle Hawk Neck, which are on the East and South/East coast... but it's not too far to drive. But I'm sure there are some great dive sites closer to Launceston too.
I took some pics last time I was there, feel free to check out the photo gallery to wet your appetite: scubawithag.com
I hope you love it over there!
