Hobart, Tasmania

It took 2 flights and a full day of travel to go from Uluru in the heart of Australia to Hobart in Tasmania. And what a contrast: from 36C in Uluru to 16C in Hobart which faces the Southern Ocean that brings cool Antarctic winds. Hobart is one of five worldwide gateways from which Antarctic expeditions depart. On our first day we walked around the city and saw beautiful Georgian builings, went to the Tasmania Museum and sampled some local craft gins and whiskeys. Yesterday we went to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. It was awesome!!! We saw Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, wombats and echidnas. I was able to pet the Kangaroos, they are so soft and sweet. I could have spent the whole day hanging out with the kangaroos 🦘 🦘 🦘 🦘 After we walked around the Royal Tasmania Botanical Gardens and later savoured some local craft beers. I just love retirement!!! Today we took the public bus to Fern Tree and hiked Mt Wellington. Then enjoyed a cold one soaking up the rays before heading to the airport for a stopover in Melbourne on our way to the west coat of Australia. Czytaj więcej
