With daylight savings underway in most states there's a sense of summer approaching and with it, we continue our focus on Tasmania - the perfect summer getaway for camping, and caravanning. In this edition of our newsletter we feature 3 NEW Trek Notes on the West Coast:
Travellers should note that due to a massive bushfire earlier in the year some sections of the above treks are currently closed but these should be open again by summer. Information for who to contact is listed within the Trek Notes.
If you're keen to get more Tasmanian Trek Notes, keep any eye on the "New & Updated This Week" box on our Home Page for more links to new trek notes as we are currently putting the finishing touches to the Climes Track and the Bay of Fires, Humbung National Park, and Mt William National Park.
To compliment our Tassie focus, we have a special discount on the tassie 4wd bible - 4WD Tracks in Tasmania by Chris Boden. No self-drive traveller to Tasmania should be without it. We also have the Explore Australia "Holidays in Tasmania" travel guide on Super Special.

Have you ever wondered how other people find us?
In a recent review of our stats, we noticed that a massive 77.03% of all visitors to our site come directly without referral from links or search engines. This clearly shows that most visitors intentionally visit ExplorOz and have either bookmarked it, or just know the url. As we own many domain name variations of the spelling of the brand name (ExplorOz, ExploreOz) all attempts will redirect to the site. And from the 18.78% that do use a search engine 4 of the top 5 search terms have also been variations of the spelling of ExplorOz - even further reinforcing that our visitors make purposeful visits. In fact, the average visitor views more than 21 pages per visit! So all those anonymous users are very much an important part of our audience. Isn't that great news! |
