I have recently returned from three weeks touring Tasmania. I was rarely concerned about bike security and only once, having prebooked in Launceston, did I decide that security was an issue and I looked for an alternative which, as is often the case, turned out to be a far better stay. The Wharf Hotel in Wynyard advertises secure motorcycle parking which, it turns out, is in the auditorium of the adjacent theatre, the grandest ‘garage’ the bike has ever enjoyed. I generally use a disc lock, the only visible form of security. Being a small island on several occasions people remarked later on seeing my bike outside different motels etc. and proprietors were generally of the opinion that security was not an issue in Tassie, although this could have been said in defence of tourism.
