Heading there in October.
Which bike, 2015 Anthem SX or 2016 Norco Range?

SX would be my pick. Unless you were going to smash out runs on the old school blue tier.

The trails aren't super tech and flow rather well. But holding speed is the key.

I'm pretty much the same on my Anthem as on my Norco Sight, but the Sight is more fun and I can take the A line jumps, so I'd go the Range.

Cant wait to get down there for some riding. Anyone have any tips for accomodation down there? Worth renting a car or are there shuttles available to get to the different areas?

accommodation is getting tough...places are booking out pretty much every weekend...

thankfully myself being from hobart, camping is an easy enough option and the campsites in derby and surrounding towns are well setup...

buck is defintely the go to guy for shuttles/advice/bike hire...other options are sprouting up but buck is by far the most genuine

Nahh don't bother, it's total shite. You wouldn't like it. Bloody crowded. Over-rated. HUGE snakes everywhere. Drop bears, crazy in-bred locals that steal your shit....bloody awful.
Best to stay on the big island...heaps better riding up there.

You also forgot to mention the domesticated Thylacines which are used for small child kidnappings.
