Gordon River Cruise
September 2, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Unfortunately we couldn't go on a hike to the Montezuma falls due to a landslide, so I decided to go on a cruise over the Gordon River, which turned out to be really nice as well! We saw seals, learned about the local fish farms, tried fresh local salmon, went to Maria Island, had a walk through the cold rainforest and could enjoy a beautiful view over the wilderness and lonely beaches of Tasmania!Read more
Gaaf Fenna, goede reis verder. Groetjes Marja

After the Gordon River Cruise we explored the sand dunes in Strahan. They were formed by strong winds from the ocean and are quite impressive!

Bay of Fires
September 4, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Bay of Fires is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. It has extemly white sand, blue water and orange stones which make the place unique. I thought the place would be called Bay of Fire because of the red/ orange stones, however it was named by an European settler who saw several fires of Aboriginal people when he first arrived at the bay. We were the only people at the beach which was really cool! After half an hour is started to rain a little bit, and suddenly a beautiful rainbow appeared in the background. You can see it in the photos!Read more

Wild Life Sanctuary Bicheno
September 4, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
The Nature World mainly cares for animals who are injured or who lost their mother and cannot survive by themselves. Their aim is to release them back to the wild once they are grown up and strong enough. It was awesome to see the wombat from near by and the Tasmanian Devil. Sadly, the Tasmanian Devil is endangered. They often get hit by cars on the road or die because of a face tumor disease.Read more

Wineglass Bay - Freycinet Nationalpark
September 5, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Our last hike of took us to Wineglass Bay. We could chose between a hike to the lookout and beach or to the Amos mountain. I chose the first option because I have a cold, but if I am ever in Tasmania again, I will definitely stay longer and climb the Amos mountain as well. Both hikes are breathtaking.Read more

Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
September 6, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C
After a relaxed morning with long breakfast I decided to go to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart! It was really interesting. I spend there 3 h and only saw 1 of the 3 floors. However, I've learned a lot of new things about the Aboriginal culture in Tasmania and the sad history of Aboriginal people after the Europeans took the land over, or (in other words), stole their land. Nowadays, Tasmania still has a quite big and strong aboriginal community. They try to rediscover aboriginal traditions for example the songs, dances, tools or handcrafts . However, the people of this community are half European half aboriginal (because European sealers had aboriginal wifes). There is no tasmanian Aboriginal without European blood left...
The museum also offers exhibition about the history of Tasmania, it's nature or the Antarctica which were really interesting!Read more

I came across Tamil food, Mexican food, Indonesian food,.. For the people who know me it's probably not hard to guess which food I chose haha!Read more

Mona - Museum of Old and New Art
September 7, 2019 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Because of the bad weather (it rained the whole day) I took the ferry to Mona where I spend 4 hours. Mona has some really good and interesting pieces of art which convey ideas about humanity, individuality, time, fear, anger, things that aren't acknowledged in society or luxury and captialism and criticize them. It was really interesting to listen to interviews of the artist and take a little bit more time to look at the art works.Read more

Last day : food and sightseeing tour on bruny island! I had oysters, bread and cheese for breakfast, a fish plate for lunch and taster cider, honey and chocolate! All the things are produced locally and especially the oyster was really good (never thought I would like it haha!). Sadly we didn't spot the albino walibi, but the trip was great and delicious anyways.Read more
