Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You
are from Queensland, aren't you...
In February, it might be a bit windy, but they are scorchers from the north. You might be grateful for the afternoon seabreezes.
Your biggest problems might be fleeng from bushfires and recovering from the nasty case of sunburn (you'll only ride unprotected by sunscreen once on a hot, sunny, February day in Tasmania).

Have a look at some of the recent threads to which I have posted on the subject of where to go in Tasmania.
The YHAs are fine. Very pleasant in fact in all the key places you might choose to spend a night, including Coles Bay, Launceston, Strahan, and Hobart.
