EPIC North-West Tasmania | Best LOW COST Camping, Ancient Rainforests and Volcano's | Episode 78

We're kicking off in north-west Tasmania, exploring some of the state's less visited highlights.
After a slow start to our Tasmania adventures, sorting out a cracked windscreen and some life admin, we set off in search of Stanley. This incredible and awe-inspiring geological feature is impossible to miss on the horizon.
Stanley makes the perfect base to explore and take some time to sit back and soak in the Tasmanian summer.
Camps we stayed at in this episode:

I just found your family on KZbin when you caught the ferry from Geelong. I live in Devonport and I love Tassie. Its a compact place with so much to see. I do photography and travel all over the place when not at work. I have started watching your vlogs from the beginning. If you get a chance we have limestone caves,3 in the North West and one in the South- they are very special. Another place I love is Mt. Field National Park- when there also go to the Gordon River dam (camp at Teds Beach) ,and take Scotts Peak Road out beside Lake Pedda- its spectacular and there is camping at all these places.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Brilliant, thanks so much Susan. We're looking forward to exploring more, thanks for your tips.

[@hapninemptynesters]

Another great vid. Well done on climbing the Nut, and you did it from the Van Park😅. We climbed it too but only from the Carpark. Safe Travels

[@millertas]

My back yard as I am a resident of Ulverstone. Love Stanley first stop in our 1986 Tassie venture but a regular weekend getaway including when in 1993/4 when we hosted a Japanese Student Teacher and during the near the end of lockdown when we could not venture to the big island Thanks for uploading.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for watching!

[@coversadventurecapers2838]

We enjoyed that camp. Watching your Tassie trip makes me miss being there.

[@michaelsecomb4115]

Really enjoyed Stanley and the Nut. Also the historic house with details of how the convicts were so badly treated and the indigenous people persecuted. And we camped in the Tarkine and visited the End of the World.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It's a great part of Tassie to explore. There's so much to see!

[@shepherdsadventure]

Tassie has some epic rainforest walks👌🏻😀

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Your'e not wrong!

[@denisemackrell8988]

Thanks for showing off this beautiful part of our state. we love coming to Stanley and stay once a year. We live near Latrobe another wonderful part of Tassie. Look like you guys had amazing time at the caravan park as we where across from you guys in the caravan.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Our pleasure! It's a special place.

[@annetterussell1609]

Great episode 👏 👌 👍 I'm glad you're loving the North West Coast. I'm biased, it's the best bit of Tasmania!!!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

So good! Thanks, Annette

[@Romeo-kp8tc]

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Bevan. You're spot on, we're worried 3 months won't be enough!

[@annetaylor7496]

Just found your chanel and crossing in the spirit, clicked on straight away because have often wondered what it's like......and I've lived here most of my life🙄 but have left the state, at least once😉. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to these videos, they will help with travel that I'll do here myself, awesome chanel, take care on the roads and love to run into you somewhere, head down to Sorell and further and stop in at Dodges Ferry get down to Park or Carlton beach, it's one long beach with good parking especially at Carlton beach with a caravan but it's one long beach with Park beach up the other end.👍👍

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks so much, Anne. That's great to hear. And thanks for the tips!

[@briangill4000]

Love the Berry Patch. Go there all the time

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We loved it!

[@saritareimers5675]

Awesome guys. 😊

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thank you 😀

[@julie-annesmith6478]

When we were at Stanley the wind was so strong, when you were walking the wind, from behind, would throw your legs forward as you walked crazy strong.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We had wind like that earlier in our stay, but it came good a few days later.

[@clarkey59]

Great episode Guys, the camera work in the rainforest was awesome.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers, Robert

[@tonyhyde2644]

...and this is one of the many reasons why we moved here 22yrs ago n havent looked back!

[@4x4xplore41]

Planning to go to Tassie next summer for few months, so we will be following closely your adventures!

[@4x4xplore41]

When your traveling where do you get mail/packages sent to?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks guys! We use Parcel collect with Aus Post. It gets sent to a Post Office of your choosing and they hold it there for you to pick up.

[@neilzantuck197]

Great episode guys, Simon where are you slippers. Looking for a butcher, very good in Stanley and better in Smithton.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers Neil 😆

[@daviddreves5924]

We spent 14 months in tas I worked in Devonport stayed at Turners beach often munch out at the strawberry patch in walking distance . Try the ice cream at Chuddle near Deloraine, the arch is amazing great little walk. You have to go to jacobs ladder in the northeast, cheers

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for sharing! We'll add them to our list 😆

[@PeteWilsonAHCPhotography]

Terrific Tassie! After binge watching all TLP's episodes from number 1 over the last few weeks I have now caught up to Episode 78. I am genuinely excited and grateful for your journey. Very much looking forward to your 12 part series on living off grid. Thank you so much Simon, Liz and Boys!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Wonderful! So glad you're enjoying all our videos!

[@rhettcorbett3346]

You should have done the MTB Roland walking track.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

What's that?

[@rhettcorbett3346]

​@@TheLifestylePioneersIts a walk from Gowrie Park( Sheffield) to the top of My Roland.

[@andrewk6844]

Your at Stanley then to Cradle Mountain. That's back to front . Your back tracking

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Depends how you look at it. We kept going west from Stanley, then down to Corrina, and onto Cradle Mtn.

[@henrygriffiths102]

Terrific Tasmania, loved the unique flora in the forests ,giant ferns etc, brilliant

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Completely agree!

[@greghammond7956]

Love Tassie! Can’t wait for your Off Grid series guys 👏👏

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Greg, glad to hear it!

[@laurenvarley7476]

Love this episode, and especially love that you are up to date, so good travelling with you in the same season😂 gives a really good perspective for people wanting to see the same places. 👏👏👏

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Yay, thank you!

[@julie-annesmith6478]

I agree with staying up to where you are. I follow some and they are all out of whack and gets confusing. And they want us to follow!

[@pamforman3333]

Great episode! There is so much to see and do and you are doing well! We saw a snake on the nut and glad that you did not! Lovely to see the boys with their grandmother.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Pam. We had a really nice time.

[@davekerr8133]

What a beautiful place. Some of the shots reminded of here in NZ. Every time we see an episode of Tasmania we say.....We've gotta go there. High on the bucket list. Thanks guys.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

So true! We often comment how Tassie and NZ remind us of each other.

[@kiaorable]

Truwatta is such a magical place, I did it in 2019 and there were no paths just triangles that you had to follow and hope no one had turned them around, it was a land of moss covered rainforest. So watching you guys walk it how different it is. Great video. Cheers Judy

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Sounds amazing, thanks Judy.

[@JustcruznRob-AlanaBuick]

Can’t wait to do Tassie at some stage. Great Ep. Luv the way your boys just get on with it when doing a hike !!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

They're getting pretty used to it these days, Rob 😆

[@RWROW]

Nice video, thanks. What month did you record this trip, please?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks! This was in early January

[@brucematthew6975]

Would appreciate your opinion on which way to go when we arrive in the middle of january. Left or right?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We went west to avoid the peak holiday crowds on the east coast.

[@brucematthew6975]

@@TheLifestylePioneers thanks for your reply, that’s what figured, how long before you headed east ? We intend staying 3 months or longer, have book the return trip on SOT. Off to cape York soon, busy busy. What a big beautiful country we live on.
