Charlie, the only comment i'd make about your wanting to stay in "one city for a couple of nights, then another" in Tasmania. Remember that the entire state has a population of around 500,000, and about half of them are in Hobart. When you refer to "city" in Tasmana, youre not talking about anything that resembles "city" in the USA.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. Tasmania is a fantastic place. Just dont expect big city, thats all. From my own experience i'd say its more like Roanoake Va than New York City. If you want to see something fantastic, beautiful, mild weather, then Tassie's goign to be right up your alley.
