OK – I know that getting flights for this time of year can be funky and expensive, and you might find juggling dates to arrive earlier or flying on a holiday day makes it cheaper.  Or you might be tying this jaunt into a longer stint of travel / coming from somewhere else / just want to be here sooner!

Well, from my perspective, anyone who rocks up from Xmas Eve onwards is welcome to join me and my mad family for the festive period.  I’ll make sure there are accommodation options to keep costs down, there just won’t be any planned activities.  The last week of December has lots happening here – the Taste Of Tasmania festival being just one of them – so there would be plenty to do if you’re arriving as the forward guard.
