Taken the Elantra off the Mainland and down to Tasmania Options

[elantraelite]

On the 26th January (Australia Day) We took the Spirit of Tasmania over to Tasmania.

We brought the Elantra along for the trip as we would be here for week. By the end of our trip the Elantra will have completed just under 2,000km

So far we have seen Cradle Mountain which has some amazing views. There is quite a bit of walking involved, but it has been well worth it. We also have spent the last 2 nights in Hobart. Hobart is unbelievable. The Views are amazing, the people are most friendly and they have plenty of excellent places for food and wine.

The weather has been outstanding while we've been here (ranging between 20-29 Degrees Celsius) The best things about Tasmania is the beautiful views of the country side no matter where you are, the people are very friendly and always happy to have a chat and the fact that there is just over 500,000 people living on the island is a great! It's so much more pieceful compared to Victoria with its exploding population i'm pretty sure coming close to peaking past 5 million.

The funny thing about this place is the amount of J2, XD and MD Elantra's on the road here is unbelievable! I must also add all very well maintained. Barely any HD's for some reason.

So far on our trip my XD Elantra has been excellent with fuel economy. We've been averaging 7.1 litres per 100km and getting about 780km out of a tank. I'm pretty impressed given that the terrain here has plently of steep gradients to climb.

I'll post up photos of our trip and of course the tough XD Elantra shortly
