  • Mt Field National Park

    19 de junio de 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

    This morning we headed off from Miena towards Bothwell a very Scottish town with even the street signs being tartan! It has the oldest continuously run golf course there and where Angus beef were originally brought in from Scotland.

    We continued on to Hamilton which is a smaller town (I was expecting something bigger) but again very old and quaint, we stopped beside the river to make lunch and decide where to head next! We were planning on staying in Hamilton for the night but we were there so early and there wasn't much to see so we decided to continue on.

    Instead of heading to New Norfolk as we originally intended, we decided to detour slightly west up Mt Field instead. Mt Field is one of my favourite places so I was very excited, even though it means Bart will be in the cold for at least another day 😬.

    We arrived just after 2 and parked up before doing the Russell and Horseshoe Falls walk and then meandering along the river. Once it was dark, I headed back out with my head torch to Russell Falls to try and see glow worms. Saw lots of animals running away from me, but not too many glow worms, I don't think it was quite dark enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ but what made it all worthwhile was it started to snow lightly as I headed out, it was so beautiful being in the slowly falling flakes and the complete stillness around you. Though I did walk back very quickly after seeing the glowworms 😄

  • Final day in Hobart

    21 de junio de 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌙 6 °C

    Yesterday we travelled from Mt Field to Hobart stopping at New Norfolk for most of the morning. As we were driving through Bart spotted a large number of old trucks, so we immediately pulled over to check them out. They ended up being part of an antique shop that is huge! The building is an old Asylum and it just goes on and on. We probably spent nearly 3 hours looking around. I totally expected Bart to find something that he wanted to get (and yes he did but it was just a $26,000 motorbike - so that's still there, for now anyway 🙄) I did walk away with a 1970's dominos set. Which I was very happy with.

    We got to the caravan park where we are going to spend our last 2 nights and I got some much needed washing done.

    Today, we headed out early to get a bus into the city (fortunately it comes right past the caravan park) we spent the morning walking around the city, stopping at Mures Seafood for lunch. Then headed off for the afternoon on a Pennicott Cruise down the Derwent River to Stormy bay, past Iron Pot Lighthouse and around Betsy Island.

    Pennicott do the best cruises if you are ever in Tasmania they are well worth doing (last trip we did the Wilderness Cruise out from Port Arthur - a very different cruise to this one, but spectacular) this cruise was more sedate and you didn't get wet which we appreciated seeing how cold it was.

    Because it was the Winter Solstice the sun set at 4:40pm so the lighting when we got out there at around 3:30pm and on our way back in was just beautiful. There were so many rain bands around us we had a rainbow somewhere pretty much most of the trip.

    It was a fantastic way to end our holiday. Now to pack up the van, try and get everything back in our suitcases tomorrow morning and off to the airport again. I know my darling husband is really looking forward to the warmer weather again!

  • Home again

    22 de junio de 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    This morning we managed to get everything back into our bags and headed off to give the motorhome a quick gurney down at the local carwash (if you don't you have to pay a cleaning fee!) then headed towards the airport, we were early so found a spot where you could watch the planes come in. Though they are few and far between, I was expecting a plane every 10 minutes or so but there were about an hour between, but it was worth the wait.

    After an uneventful flight home we arrived to a very happy Indy (Sean and Chloe had dropped her home again for us in the afternoon).

    We had a wonderful two weeks away but it's so nice to be home again, really looking forward to our own bed tonight and seeing Banksia tomorrow! ❤️
