    Heya from Tassie!

    Hey everyone,
    Just starting to make the transition from ground camping and gotta say straight off how helpful everyone is on this website. I wouldn't have dared to make the jump as it were without all the great advice available.

    I live in south east Tasmania and have never actually seen anyone hanging down here, but we have lots of trees...so

    Welcome from Augusta GA. Perhaps you will start a new in Tasmania. I look forward to hearing about your first group hang. :-)

    I love Tasmania and had a great time while I was there. If you're anything like the people I've met, it will be great to have you around. Welcome to HF!

    Hi Hammock Dreamer
    I think yours is the first post I've seen from Tassie as well.
    No doubt someone will chime in.
    In any case welcome. What is your hammock?

    Hi, welcome to the forums. Its great to see other Aussies here.

    Im from Queensland, never been to Tasmania, i plan to hike the overland track, was told there are a major lack of trees on the Overland track, therefore hammock use is not possible and been advised against the use of a hammock in Tasmania,
