Tasmania -signing out
30 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Thanks Tassie. You've been great. We loved that every day had amazing scenery. We loved all the beautiful houses. We loved the quaint little towns. We loved the history. We loved the food. We loved the wildlife (but not squashed on the road).
But most of all we loved sharing it with Bree and Brett. ❤ (Next time Bon).
Over and out.Läs mer

Bruny Island cruise
30 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Managed to squeeze a cruise around Bruny Island on our last day. When the boat took off from the jetty and immediately started fishtailing I knew what we were in for! We were admiring two huge rock pillars coming out of the ocean next to each other. Next minute, we are heading toward them at great speed. We made it out the other side. There is a before photo.
Great close up views of caves, seals, blowholes and sheer cliff faces. Was great fun (except for the return trip which was blowy and rough).Läs mer

Bruny Island
29 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We caught the ferry to Bruny Island for our last two days. Wine, cheese, chocolate, oysters, whiskey, honey and berries are all grown / caught / produced here. We have a house opposite the ocean and it's very chilled here, so we are pretty happy right now.Läs mer

Richmond
28 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Spent the day in Richmond. Richmond Bridge is the oldest operating bridge in Australia. Richmond has become my new favourite town in Tassie. Lots of beautiful old homes and antique stores. And Graham went into every store. You can see how excited I was by this.Läs mer

Spent the day checking out the area around Port Arthur:
Tessellated pavement
Eaglehawk neck officer's quarters
Doo Town
Tasman Arch and blowholes
Coal Mines historic site
Remarkable Cave
Apparently there's not much to do around here 😃. Oh and Google sent us down another dirt road.
Have loved sharing Tassie with Bree & BrettLäs mer

Visited Port Arthur today. It is so pretty, in contrast to the terrible things that happened there.
Tonight we are going on a ghost tour. What was I thinking!

Google is an asshole
26 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
We left Swansea on our way to Port Arthur and let Google show us the way. Next minute, we are driving down a gravel road dodging wallabies and potholes. Then there's a sign "4wd only" but Graham was committed by this point. Anyway, we made it out alive, no thanks to Google.
Here's the view when we made it out the other end, and a pretty bird. You're welcome.Läs mer

Cycling wineries tour
25 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Well this was a hoot! We went on a cycling tour between three wineries, with tastings at each winery. We were not only riding on back roads but riding through vineyards and paddocks full of sheep and lambs. I managed to ride my bike through lots of poo.
The wineries were lovely as they had all been passed down through the generations. It was really nice to sit among the vines for tastings with the owner - we had lots of questions!
Had a fabulous lunch then dropped back at our villa to watch a storm come in.
And now the other three are passed out on the couch. I think that means they enjoyed themselves.Läs mer

Penguins!
24 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
We were all a bit blah about a penguin tour I booked as it was a bit of a drive and we had had a big day, but it was paid for so off we went with very low expectations.
Sat for a while and saw two penguins in the distance head up a sandhill. Then a small group swam in and walked to their burrow a little way off. We were all pretty happy to have seen some penguins and thought that was it.
Moved to the next location and we had groups of penguins walking right past our feet. They would stop right amongst us for a look around or an argument. You had to be careful not to step on them, there were so many!
As we walked up a path two fat babies came out and the parents fed them right in front of us. It was awesome! They shooed the babies back to the burrow then finished the show with a quick mating. 😅
Hard to photograph as you have to stay still while they are walking amongst you, and the lights are all red to not blind them.Läs mer

Swansea - a big day
24 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Left St Helens for the 2 hr drive to Swansea but took us all day as there were so many great beaches to stop in on the way.
Bicheno was a great little town - has moved to the top of our list of places to retire to. Spent a bit of time trying to time the blow holes photo op.
Drove to Coles Bay and 3/4 of us climbed the mountain to look at Wineglass Bay. I told them to take a photo for me. The icecream photos are part a and b - part a eating icecream while looking at part b shithot view.
Finally got to Swansea where we have an ocean view cabin. The final photo is the view from our balcony across the bay. Life is good!!Läs mer
