We’ve had quite an adventurous morning. It began when we opened the curtains to snow, continued with me being mobbed by 18 rather large Tassie crows, and ended with a very wet walk through a steep and slippery gorge in every type of weather... Snow, sun, rain, sleet and wind! I woke wondering if it... Continue Reading →
It rained all night last night, and we set off to Cradle Mountain in drizzle. On the way we stopped to visit Mole Creek Caves... at least the rain wouldn’t matter, deep in the rocks. We chose to visit the Marakoopa Caves and do the Great Cathedral and Glow Worms Tour. The guide led us... Continue Reading →
We’ve walked today... lots... along almost every path in and around Cataract Gorge. We must have had plenty of energy after almost 9 hours sleep... amazing for me! In fact, according to my FitBit, I’ve had on average 8 hours 10 mins each night this week! Must have made up for jetlag by now 😊... Continue Reading →
The highlight of today was the blow hole at Bicheno. We were lucky to see it on a morning where the waves were crashing against the coast, forcing the water through the hole and high into the air, way above our heads. It was also a bright, blue-sky day, which made the spout of water... Continue Reading →
Today, we had a drive further up the east coast of Tasmania to see Bay of Fires. I’d seen pictures of this area and didn’t really believe the sea would be as turquoise or the rocks as orange as in the pictures, except maybe on the brightest sunny days. I was pleased to be proved... Continue Reading →
This morning, the plan was to visit Freycinet National Park to climb Mount Amos where we’d have a stunning view of Wineglass Bay. First, before checking out, we had another great breakfast with homemade bread and jam, prepared by our Airbnb host, Mike. He even got some bacon out of the freezer to make bacon...

I know the title is polictically incorrect, but today we’ve been back in time learning how convicts were treated in Port Arthur in the 1800s and how many ended up in asylums because of the way they were managed in the prison system at that time. Port Arthur was a secondary punishment station that was... Continue Reading →
Today we left Rich and Rach’s for an 8-day road trip up the East coast of Tasmania, across to Cradle Mountain, where we might find some snow, then back to their house via the centre of the state. After waving Richard off to work, Lexie and Tom off to school, and Rach to her upstairs... Continue Reading →
Today we’ve been to Tahune Airwalk. Tahune is aboriginal and means ‘peaceful place by running water’, which it certainly was. On the way to Tahune we stopped in Geeveston, where we saw this great graffiti in a recycling yard, and visited a craft centre. Because it’s a Monday in winter and the weather was overcast, there weren’t... Continue Reading →
At last! We both had a good night’s sleep! Unfortunately, after yesterday’s wall to wall sunshine, we awoke to quite heavy rain. Nevertheless, Richard lit the barbecue outside... luckily it’s undercover... and made us a tasty cooked breakfast. After writing yesterday’s blog... I hate it when I get behind with it... Richard took us for... Continue Reading →
