Blowhole at Eagle Neck, Tasmania

Someday I am going to return to Tasmania. This time it will be for a more leisurely tour than my short stint as Visiting Journalist sponsored by Tourism Tasmania.

On my itinerary will be Devil's Playground, Cradle Mountain, and Blowhole at Eaglehawk Neck

I have a simple request for the State of Tasmania. May I please have a loo that I can use when we arrive at Blowhole at Eaglehawk Neck? That includes a wheelchair accessible path of travel from the car park.

I promise, if you build it according to Australian Accessibility Standards (and a pinch of style) I will personally submit it to the Loo of the Year Awards.

I know mates, wrong country and all for the awards but I have personally had to travel farther afield than the distance between Australia and the UK to find an accessible loo (if you take into account that there are no airplanes whatsoever that have accessible WCs!)

Let's make Tassie accessible. The private sector on the island has already made its investment in this market.
