I experienced the IJTAS tour and if you are looking for a unique and exclusive experience and want to learn about the Aboriginal history of Tasmania this is a 'Must Do' product. Our guides were just amazing and I learnt so much about not only Tasmania Aboriginal history but Aboriginal history & culture in its own right!! I even made a 'Hunting Spear' from scratch using traditional knowledge handed down through generations... I can only describe this tour as OUTSTANDING!
