7 февраля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Today I posted an add on Facebook that I was looking for a travel mate. Within a few hours I found someone! Haha that was really quickly. And she had almost thesame plans and dates.

Unfortunately a few hours later I had a lot of reactions from other people who wanted to travel with Me. Some where already with 2 persons. It can be really annoying if you travel with someone random you are together for almost 2 weeks so it could be that you gonna hate something on eachother. And when you are traveling with a group you just gonna hang out with someone else.

So I thought, maybe if we have a few persons together we can travel with a group. But I'll see for now how many reactions I get. Unfortunately I got a lot more reactions.

So I decided to make a group with all the people I know wanna travel at thesame time.

You probably would be thinking, why tazziezone? Well I'll probably not be able to go to campzone. So why not make our own variant of campzone. And tassie is short for tasmania. So tassiezone! Currently I just feel like y'tje (yvan) from campzone! He didn't choose to be our hero but most people chose him :-P y'tje is definitely my hero! I really like his spicy nuts!

So I try to be the hero of this group and hopefully I Learn a lot! Also a few bad habits I gonna introduce on this group. One is the beer count system, who yells one gets the beer and he get the amount of beer that's called. Second thing is perudo.. OMG Really! Yeah really. BEST GAME EVER!

Currently I got 8 people together. And I'm the only one with a car. Hopefully it fits :-P.Читать далее

update!
12 февраля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
I did some searching for how long the trip would take and how many kilometres we would make. I think it would take about 11 days and around 1500km. We will see if it is correct at the end.

Currently we got 3 cars. The other 2 are rented and we tried to name them. Unfortunately hasn't worked out yet. I'm going with Anna. Sebastian, patricia and léa are going together and will start together withe and Anna on 28th of February. Ben, nicoletta and Josephine are going together but they Wil start one day later.

And if you travel in Australia half of the backpackers are German. Also our group. I said that it's only allowed to speak English. Else you will be putt in a corner. :-P

A few people where scared this would be a planned trip. Because I made some things in excel to clear my head. But we are gonna travel around and see how we go. ;-)

Maybe we have some more people but I think this is the group and 8 persons is a perfect group, not too big and not to small!Читать далее

getting ready
27 февраля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Saturday afternoon the trip finally started for me. I went to pickup a tent and Matresses from another backpacker in Sydney. The stuff is for sebastian and patricia who travel along on Tassie.

Then I picked up fred, he's from Scotland and he traveled with me to Melbourne. Wen we got on the freeway I looked at the navigation and saw that I had to drive straight for the next 786km! That's a long way! Somewhere halfway we stopped to do a quick nap of 8 hours :-P. Next day got some fuel and drove all the way to Torquay. That's below Melbourne. And er surfed together, it was quite hard. It was messy and pretty big waves for a beginner like me. But it was good to be surfing again. Then we visited a closed aboriginal center. It was nice for 5 minutes :-D. Then on our way back to St kilda where I dropped fred of at his friend. Then I went to another guy to pickup another tent. We had a good chat and I could make a 2nd battery system in his car after tasmania so that's good!.

Then I went to pickup my 'new' 2nd hand battery and went back to cbd Melbourne where I met Anna, who is gonna travel with me in the car on tasmania.

Monday I saw an old friend from a half year ago in Sydney. That was cool. In the evening I topped up my fuel, it's 25 cents cheaper in Melbourne then tasmania. And went on the ferry. I was just in time! I was really lucky because when I was on the ferry they closed everything and then they went away within 1 minute after I entered the boat!. I had to eat all my apple's because it's not allowed to bring fruit and vegetables to tasmania. Just as Petrol. I told I only had 1 can of petrol so I had to empty it in the car a bit and trow the rest away and fill it with water. The asked me if I had an 'speaker' at least that was wat I understood. So I said yes and I showed my speaker. And they were like, why are you showing this!? But they ment 'spear-gun'. Haha woops!

When I was on the boat I met 2 other backpackers from Canada and Brazil. It was cool to hang out with them. And ofcourse they were placed next to me in the boat.!, definitely no coincidence :-P. I hope I see them again in Tassie. I had a recliner seat and that was really comfortable to sleep in! So I had a good rest.Читать далее

Tassie day 1
28 февраля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
I woke up in the ferry and I had to get my stuff together and go to my car. When I was finally off the boat they asked if I ate all the apples and I had to wash my car because it was Dirty. And they don't want you to bring unwanted stuff to Tassie. And then at 7:00 am I was in devonport. I'm total it took 12 hours to board the ship to exit the ship.

First thing I got coffee and then drove to the other side of tasmania. It was only 280 km and 3:15 hours drive! That's not too long.

I picked up Anna from the airport and we went first to the hungry Jacks to get cheap coffee. But ofcourse the coffee machine was broken! But we got free fries and a free soda! Then we met the others at Coles and got some groceries.

Afterwards we went to the k-mart to get some stuff. At least I had everything but the others had to get some stuff for their trip.

Then we finally left. Inside Hobart we went to an cave, it was a really nice place. Luckily it was low tide else we couldn't get there.

Then we went to an old famous bridge and that was nice to see. There were some goose running after eachother. And then they went away from eachother and both came back with 3 friends. Haha that was so funny to see!!

At last we went to a free campsite and cooked dinner there, had some beers and played perudo. It's a really good group. Every person is different but we can go along with eachother. See what we get tomorrow!Читать далее

day 2 - freycinet national park
2 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We woke up pretty late and made breakfast, in the end we left about 10 am. But everyone exept me was tired so they needed their sleep.

We had a few nice stopping points on the way. It was all 10 or 15 minutes drive so that was really short. First a good lookout, then a kind of blowhole where the waves slashing into the rocks. That was really nice! Afterwards we went to an arch that was nice!

Later in the afternoon we went to the remarkable cave. And it was remarkable! You could just walk all the way through the cave. It was like 50 meters long and had 3 entrances. Also over there I saw a kind of plant with green tentacles. They were moving but no idea what it was.

We camped at the same spot as last night. I set my alarm on 2:30 am. Because by then we should be able to see the Aurora australis (southern light). And I went out of bed and there were all clouds. But I sit down anyway to see if I could see it. When I looked to the south it was just a tiny bit white. And after an half hour there were brighter white stripes slowly coming and within an 5 minutes I could see the light a lot brighter. I ran back to wake the others and we looked to the light. It was white and not green as you would expect because human eyes detect the colour differently. The light was not bright enough to make a picture of it. But we were really lucky to see it. It's not you can see that every day! And at 4 am I went to sleep again.Читать далее

day 3 - mount amos
3 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We did woke up a bit later than planned but we have time so. In the morning we drove around 2 and a half hour to Coles Bay. Up there we did the hike to mount amos to have an awsome view. It took us1:15 to get up. Total climb was 465 meters. And decent we did in 45 min. So that was not to bad. It was definitely a good exercise! When we went up there were some clouds but once a while we had an clear view and it was stunning! We also had lunch on top of the mountain.

At the end we drove around 1 hour to a campsite and made dinner and put up our camp. Unfortunately it rained a bit when we came there but after a while it was dry so pretty good. Only thing was that there are clouds and if there weren't we probably could see the southern lights even better than yesterday. But it's okayЧитать далее

day 4 - Bay of fires
3 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We started to drive around 10 and went to some lookouts, it was nice to see. In the afternoon had lunch at some park and afterwards we went to the bay of fires. It was really cool to see all the stones with the red stuff on it!

After Bay of fires we went up the Victoria mountain, we were driving in the clouds when we got to the top. We did a short hike trough a forrest. It looked really spooky with the fog between the trees. At the lookout it looked first we wouldn't see anything but luckily there wasn't fog in front of the waterfall. It was really nice. The whole road on the mountain that we drove was gravel. So I'm glad the others also had a 4wd.

Afterwards we went to a small cosy campsite.Читать далее

day 5 - launceston
5 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
In the morning I did a short hike. It was nice to walk around a small Lake. Then some Australian guy from Queensland came to talk with us that was really cosy. He did also farmwork and maybe had some work for us when we go to Queensland. So we'll see.

First we went to launceston, that was a really nice area! All Stones and a big River. Also a nice hike of 45 minutes all around. We also visited a place called grindelwald, that looked just like Switzerland.

Afterwards we went to a park to make Lunch and there was a lookout to a big dam.

At the end we drove to a town called pinguin, how cool is that! They had a statue of a penguin, but the size was a bit disappointing. I expected something like 4 or 5 meters but it was just a bit more than 2.

At the end. We did an amazing coastal drive and ending up at the nicest beach in Australia. And 9th place of nicest beaches from the world. We were lucky there was still room for us on the campspot!Читать далее

day 6 - 'the nut'
5 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
This morning I woke up on the beautiful beach it was a really nice view.

First we went to a few caves. That was okay and the hike was nice, then to a lighthouse. The lookout over there was nice.

Before lunch we climbed the nut. It is like a big round flat rock rising out of the sea total 143 meters high. It was a steep climb but it was good! On the top we could just walk around and enjoy the view. Also saw some a animals there.

Afterwards we went to see some waterfalls that was okay and it was next to the road so that's easy.

In the en of the day we found a nice campspot and we made a fire there. officially not allowed because it's summer. But anyway it went well.Читать далее

day 7 - cradle mountain
6 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
For the first time this trip we went left the campspot earlier. Around 9:30 so still not really early. It took us an hour to drive to cradle mountain. From there we went with the shuttle bus up to where all the hikes started.

From here on we walked first all around the dove Lake (2 hour walk). That was a nice easy walk and we ended up at an shed next to the lake were we had lunch. Then we climbed to the top of the Marions mountain. It was a steep climb and I did it in 22 minutes. It was around 250 meters higher than the lake. Up there the hike was stunning! After a while we hiked back to the start point (1,5 hour walk). On all the hikes the surrounding was changing from forrest into beachside into open land. It was so different and so beautiful! In the end we didn't want to wait for the shuttle so we walked back on an walking track back to the car(1 hour walk, 5,5km).

We where all tired from all the walking today so we just went for an hour drive to the next campspot and made dinner there. We tried to make soup with a bit of spaghetti but at the end it was spaghetti with soup because else it would be way to less. Anna is a real big eater, same as me..

In total I think I hiked around 20 km the whole day and that took about 5:30 hours. With sometimes really steep Hills and decents. So thats a worthy workout!.Читать далее

day 8 - Gordon dam
8 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today was a real driving day. Fix we wanted to go to a waterfall but it was a 3 hour hike. We needed the time so we went to another cave wat would take only 30 minutes.

Afterwards we went for a 84 km drive to the Gordon dam. It is he highest dam in the southern hemisphere. The dam is 150 meters high. That's really high! Besides the dam there were a lot of lakes an lots of mountains around there. The view was really spectacular!

On the way back we visited the Russell falls. They should be the best falls of tasmania. It was really good. And it where 2 big steps with a lot of smaller waterfalls. Afterwards went to a 'free' campsite' you can donate I'd you want. We spent our last evening together. Afterwards I'll be travelling one day alone with Anna. Yes again the mount amos climb and the n actually look at the wineglass Bay.Читать далее

day 9 - Bruny island
9 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
At the campspot there was a car that probably went off the road. It was standing between the trees. Whoops moment! :-P around 10 am we got the ferry to bruny island. To save costs we went with 5 people in the rental car and only took what we needed. So that was a good idea!

First we went to the other side of the island. Visited a lighthouse and the view was good. On our way there we also saw a island what you can rent, imagine a whole island for yourself. It was $1200 a day for 2 persons, so that's a bit to much for backpacking budget.

Next we went to the neck. That's a small Piece of land that connects the 2 islands from bruny island. That was a really cool view.

Afterwards we had lunch and got the ferry back to the mainland. We had to say goodbye because I probably only see the 2 girls tomorrow for a museum.

In the late afternoon I drove to Coles Bay again to see the actual wineglass Bay. But that steep hike is for tomorrow! Now just chill in the evening.Читать далее

day 10 - wineglass Bay And MONA
10 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
We went out of bed a bit earlier than the rest of the trip. After arriving on the bottom of Mount amos we packed our stuff and wrote our names in a hikers registration book. It took us 1 hour to climb all the way to the top of the mountain. Then we enjoyed the amazing view! I filmed the hike down.ill post the video later.

On our way back to Hobart we had lunch and drove over a spiky bride. At the airport we had to say goodbye and our trip was unfortunately finished. At the end she was a real easy and good travelmate!

In the late afternoon I went to the MONA (museum of old and new art) in Hobart. It was a cool museum! Saw a lot of inspiring and weird things.

After my domino's pizza I drove 70 km north to the cheapest fuel station of tasmania. Price was 1,28 compared to 1,37 - 1,46 so thats a lot. Average was around 1,40. After I filled up a bit I drove to a campsite 100km from cradle mountain. Because it was late I had to drive almost 1,5 hour in the dark. I saw a lot of wildlife, 4 walibi's, a deer, a Tasmanian devil a bird and 6 possums, I had unfortunately one roadkill. No idea what it was but I guess a possum.
I drove around 40 km behind a local. Because he drove way to fast for a traveler. And he knew the way. I even had a hard time to keep up with him. But he had special big lights on his car so if I would follow I would hit an animal and can drive as fast as him. At the end I was all in 1 piece on the campspot.Читать далее

day 11 - Canyoning @ cradle mountain
11 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
I had to wake up early because I still had to travel more than 100 km. In total it took me another 2 hours to get to cradle mountain.

Once there my Canyoning adventure starts!
We were Total with 10 people so a nice group, first we had to pack all our gear in a back and drive 5 minutes with a bus. Then walk with the bags around a half hour. On the changing rock we got all in our Wetsuits and harnesses. Once done that we had to walk another 5 minutes and finally it begins.

We had to abseil 13 meters into the creek. On the way we had to walk / swim trough the canyon. There were some falls where you had to jump. The highest drop was around 7 meters. So pretty high. It was really cool to do and pretty safe. I expected a bit more adrenaline but the water was low so. If it would be higher than it would be a bit better! But never the less I had a great time!

Afterwards I drove around an hour to get to the nearest campsite next to the Montezuma falls.Читать далее

12 марта 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
In the morning I had to clean all the cooking stuff. Everything was so Dirty. It took me almost an hour to get everything clean! Damn those Dirty backpackers!

Then I went to the Montezuma falls. These are the highest in tasmania in total 104 meters high. The walk was really easy but it took me around 1 hour each way. In front of the waterfall was a small bridge, you couldn't pass eachother and the bridge moved with every step. So not something for people with fear of heights.

Afterwards I went to the ferry and got on board, this time I wasn't the last one. ;-) on the ferry I went to the cinema, it was smaller than I expected but still, a cinema on board!

It's ti bad my Tassie adventure is over again! But now time for the next trip.Читать далее
