    Enchanted Forest

    Cradle Mountain TAS

    26 de abril de 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

    The most anticipated destination of our trip, the quintessential Tasmanian experience, another bucket list travel adventure finally a reality. We came, we saw (we shivered) and we conquered Cradle Mountain, sort of…

    We started early in a clockwise direction on the Dove Lake Circuit, a lovely scenic loop encompassing some diverse terrain and microclimates. The Ballroom Forest was especially enchanting, while the native Fagus trees were in full autumn glow, edging the path in shades of gold.

    Sadly, cloud obscured the top of the mountain all day and a light drizzle prevented us reaching Marion Peak. However, we were rewarded with a magnificent rainbow over the lake as a consolation prize.

    After completing the Dove Lake Circuit and posing for the obligatory group photo at the iconic boat shed, we headed back to Ronny Creek where it took us all of a few hundred metres to find a friendly wombat happily grazing right next to the boardwalk!

    Although we’d come to experience the grandeur of the mountain itself, the lower peaks and ridges around the lake created an equally impressive panorama, proving its beauty from all angles and in all conditions.

    We ended our fabulous bucket list day with dinner at the Peppers Cradle Mountain Tavern Bistro.

    Fun fact: Cradle Mountain was named in 1827 by the explorer Joseph Fossey who thought it bore a remarkable similarity to a gold prospector's cradle.    Leer más

    Devonport TAS

    27 de abril de 2024, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    This morning we awoke to a picture perfect day at Cradle Mountain. We couldn’t not take the opportunity to jump on the shuttle bus back to Dove Lake for the iconic postcard photo.

    Dan got the perfect shot before the wind picked up and rippled the pond, while we trekked back to the boat shed for another quick pic to prove we were there - even if it now looks like I hiked Cradle Mountain with my handbag 🤣

    We feel very fortunate to have experienced Cradle Mountain in all its glory.

    Leaving the mountain we followed the Northern Tasting Trail as we slowly made our way back towards Devonport. First stop, Sheffield Bakehouse for brunch, followed by a tasting paddle at the Spreyton Cider Co. where the boys also enjoyed a tasting paddle of local juices. Next stops, Ghost Rock Wines and Anvers Chocolate Factory.

    We eventually made it Devonport where we explored the picturesque Mersey Bluff Lighthouse and completed some essential research at the Southern Wilds Distillery, locally known as Devonport’s departure lounge, as we bided time waiting for the Spirit of Tasmania to arrive in port - Sloe Gin for the win!

    We ended our eventful lap of Tassie with dinner at the local Irish establishment before boarding the SOT for our return voyage to the mainland.    Leer más

    Wangaratta VIC

    28 de abril de 2024, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Five very tired but equally contented McDermotts disembarked the Spirit of Tasmania around 10:00 this morning after another relatively calm overnight sail. The SOT is a great way to access the Apple Isle - we’d definitely recommend night sailing in a sleeper cabin.

    After a lazy brunch in Geelong, we made it as far as Wangaratta before turning in for the night at the Wangaratta Motor Inn.

    On approach to Wangaratta we detoured via the King Valley gourmet region stopping for tastings at Brown Brothers and Sam Miranda Wineries and the Milawa Cheese Factory. Who even knew this region existed? I feel another trip coming on…

    For dinner we walked from our motel down the main street of Wangaratta for a lovely meal at the Masala Corner Indian Restaurant. We knew we were onto a good thing when the local winery where we had a tasting session earlier in the day not only recommended the place but supplied their wine list!

    It was a fitting end to another fabulous road trip with our partners in travel crime - the Giffney family. We wouldn’t do it any other way xx    Leer más

    Home Sweet Home

    29 de abril de 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    We left Wangaratta early this morning for the long and gloriously straight drive home to Sydney. As beautiful as Tassie is, the one thing we definitely won’t miss are the narrow winding roads. We have a new appreciation for full width lanes and formed shoulders.

    It was an uneventful trip home, a bit of all weather conditions and plenty of roadworks along the Hume Highway, but grateful to be home safely having enjoyed a wonderful time away.

    Only 242 days until our next adventure begins… Stay tuned 😊    Leer más
