Jour 1
Jen & Jonnell arrive in Tassie
6 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Jen and Jonnell arrive in Launceston from Sydney on the only plane, in the history of plane arrivals, that arrives early and has not been delayed. Well done Virgin!!!
Picked up by Kath, they are whisked up the Tamar Valley, past the vineyards laden with grapes - awaiting their harvest. They arrive at Clarence Point and are greeted by a 'cut snake' draped over the front post and an over-excited Tashi.En savoir plus

Jour 2
Buns in the Oven
7 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Good Friday and all the good people are doing good!!! The highlight of today was Kath and Jonnell whipping up a bunch of home made Hot Cross Buns. Simply delicious. Special ingredient included brandied fruit mince left over from Christmas.
The crosses on top were exquisitely crafted to reflect all the shapes and sizes of those who consumed them.En savoir plus

Jour 3
Penguins at Low Head
8 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
With Steve, Hamish, Ben and Millie in tow we rugged and layered up to face the cold and brisk winds coming directly off Bass Strait. Up to Low Head we ventured, to watch the Fairy Penguins* come in to sleep for the night. What an amazing experience - watching them slide over the rocks, waddle up the beach and listening to their array of sounds, including their 'love calls'. Sending the sacrificial young male to first navigate and scout for danger is equivalent to nominating them for the Darwin Awards!

*Tasmania is the only place they are still called Fairy penguins.En savoir plus

Jour 6
Midlands Highway to Hobart
11 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Today we began our road trip and of course appropriate names were selected for the journey - Thelma (Kath), Louise (Jonnell) and Eliza (Jen). First stop was Campbell Town where purchases were made at the Lake and Leather shop. Then off to Ross for our first Scallop Pie. Ross is made up of incredible Georgian sandstone buildings. Oatlands was the next detour off the highway. Another small town made up of Georgian buildings. Eliza (Jen) found a stork sculpture on the top of one building. Then off to Hobart via a tour of Thelma's (Kath) stomping grounds on the Eastern Shore and then down to Sue's at Blackmans Bay - south of Hobart.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Mt Field National Park
13 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Off through the Derwent Valley to Mt Field National Park. Today was 'Bucket List' day for Jen. Jonnell was perplexed why we were going such a long way just to see a plant! Well ... it wasn't just any old plant, it was Nothofagus gunnii - a deciduous beech found only in Alpine areas in Tasmania. Having local knowledge on our side (Sue) - we found it in its glory at Lake Fenton. It was just starting to change colour.
We also walked around Lake Dobson through the ferns and pandani forest and also to Russell Falls.En savoir plus
