Day 1 - Childers to Lake Somerset
11. november 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
An unexpected new adventure is starting! On the east coast again (more or less) but this time we are going south. After saying good bye to a lovely couple who adopted and spoiled us we left Childers (the last two weeks were really tough) really excited for this new long trip. We decided to drive a little bit in the inland. The Glass House Mountains left us astonished and the uphill roads between Brisbane and Lake Somerset offered us amazing views with forests, fields and hills. The camping, located on a peninsula, was stunning and really big. We enjoyed the golden hour and took a rest 💫Les mer

Day 2 - From Lake Somerset to Deepwater
12. november 2023, Australia
We woke up at sunrise and after breakfast we headed south again.
In the first few kilometers we had a stunning view of the lake from above 🌳

Along the way we briefly stopped in Stanthorpe for lunch. The little town was different from what we expected: it looked quite dry and not that fascinating.

We stopped for a swim in a little local swimming pool 🏊

We finally reached Deepwater where we camped in the backyard of a pub for free!
We had a beer and a pizza which was quite heavy, we were very hungry
The pub was very nice and we had a chat with a couple from Brisbane who suggested us some camping spots which sounded really interesting!Les mer

Day 3 - Deepwater to Forster
13. november 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We left Deepwater at around 7 am and had a nice cappuccino in a local bakery.

The first couple hours weren’t much interesting, a lot of wheat fields all around.
Then Sofia took the driver’s seat and it all changed!
Clouds came down as we were approaching the Dorrigo National park and we couldn’t see past 10 meters from our car.
Fog was so thick it was almost disorienting!
The fog then faded away and we could appreciate the stunning view of the eucalyptus valley below us.

We reached Port Macquarie where we had a nice lunch and walk by the beach 🏝️

The last stretch led us to our camping spot, where we spent our first night on our way up to Cairns a month ago!Les mer

Day 4 - Forster to Kangaroo valley
14. november 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Today we went through Sydney and it was quite stressful, we are not used to that kind of traffic anymore 😅

We proceeded south and stopped in Bowral for a swim, the little city looked quite nice with a lot of green.

In the early afternoon we reached the Kangaroo valley and our camping spot (Bandeela recreation area) which was suggested from the couple we met in the Deepwater pub.

We met another friendly older couple, both of them born in the Netherlands.
They told us that at nighttime wombats come out to eat and they occasionally scratch their backs on the lower part of cars and caravans. They are so sturdy you can feel the car moving!!

We had a walk in the park and we saw wombats and kangaroos in the wilderness🦘

We were more tired than we thought and we fell asleep at 5 in the afternoon, only to be woken up in the middle of the night by the wombats shaking our car, it felt almost like an earthquake!Les mer

We left Kangaroo Valley in a foggy morning and we reached Jervis Bay but we weren’t lucky with the weather so we changed our plans and we decided to have a stop in Ulladulla. Before our arrival we went to Boat Harbour Beach just in time to see a bunch of sting rays being feed by a woman. At the Ulladulla camping we played ping pong and have a rest.Les mer

We left our camping around 8.30, again in a cloudy day ☁️

We stopped in Moruya for the night, were we met a lovely couple from Noosa. She was Swiss and spoke a good Italian!

After a really wet night under the rain (luckily our rooftop tent protected us) we woke up with sun. After the breakfast we got ready to drive again. We were surprised by the crystal water and the coast. We had a stop in the stunning Mystery Bay and then we arrived in Eden where we camped. We played tennis a little bit and my back cracked 😢 the night was crispy.Les mer

21. november 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Finally we arrived in Melbourne and we met two dear friends from Lamon. They hosted us for one week. The next days:
We walked around the Botanical garden with our friends and had a tasty hamburger together. We also enjoyed long UNO matches 🤣. Sofia still had some back pain and she stretched every day. We went swimming a couple of times and we explored the city a little bit. We also went to the Yarra market with Deborah (Sofia’s friend) and we had a nice dinner with her family (her husband Martin and her one year son Maxwell). We had a daily trip with Alain and in on the last evening we ate an amazing pizza made by one of our friend (Prosperottero detto pizza) and Alain offered us a nice gelato made by the company he works for.
We really enjoyed these days even if the weather in Melbourne can make you crazy 🤪Les mer

We woke up after a rainy night and we went for a walk in the National Park. We did the lakes circuit and we felt at home as the landscape reminded us of our Dolomits (but with palms and wombats around). We really enjoining being surrounded by mountains and wildlife. After that we reached Mole Creek where we were able to spot a platypus (it was our first and only one).Les mer

As we heard that Salamanca market was taking place every Saturday in Hobart, we took the chance to visit it as it apparently was quite a big event in the city.
After breakfast we drove to Hobart where luckily we found a parking spot near the market, it was a very busy day for the city!

At first sight the market appeared huge, with lots of people browsing the stands and trying different local products.
We had a stroll all along and tried some Chinese food and a delicious chilean empanada. 🇨🇱

In the afternoon we reached our camping spot for the night, just a 20 min drive from the city.Les mer

3. desember 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
After a freezing and rainy night at "The Lea" campground, where we encountered kangaroos, opossum and some sort of rat jumping like a Kangaroo, we headed for Mount Wellington.

It was foggy and we couldn't see much from the top, so we came down the road a bit, had a little walk to an observatory poit and as soon as the fog cleared, we drove up to the top again.

From there we could see the whole city of Hobart, stunning view!

We headed down towards the city again, and we stopped at the Cascade brewery for a lovely fresh beer.

We decided to came back to the camping spot in dodges ferry to spend the night, where we cooked a long waited for pasta al ragu. We met some nice people and the camping owner dedicated a song to us on the radio stationLes mer

4. desember 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
We left in the morning and headed towards Coles bay, as we saw there were some interesting trails and nice camping spots.
We took the shortest road to get there, without knowing that it was 20 km of gravel in the middle of a forest.
After this stretch of quite stressful road, we reached closer to the sea, where some stunning landscapes welcomed us, with beautiful little bays and mountains in the distance.

we reached the camping spot but unfortunately they did not have place for rooftop tents so we had to go back to another one.Les mer

We decided not to proceed and go down to the bay, instead we came back and visited another little bay (honeymoon bay) where Andrea took a freezing bath and we then had some lunch.Les mer

From Coles bay we reached St Helens, a little town right before arriving to the Bay of fires.
There we found an amazing free camping spot, right on the shoreline. Cristal clear water and orange stones (from this the name bay of fires) made an incredible scenery.

Our camping neighbour was a nice woman who landed us a pair of binoculars as there were some dolphins cruising just in front of us. She had a nice dog which was very happy for some cuddling.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and an incredible starry sky afterwards.

What an amazing place!Les mer

8. desember 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
A girl from the Netherlands told us about a little village that once was home to the miners, and now was abandoned and taken over by nature. We thought it was worth a visit and so we headed towards Lottah.
The only way to reach it was through 7km of gravel roads, as we got there we were a bit disappointed as we were expecting something more fascinating. There were just a couple cabins but nothing to see really.

We then headed to Launceston, where we had a swim at the Aquatic centre.
We had lunch and then headed to our camping spot for the night: a little piece of land behind an old school.
It was pouring rain and we had some water leaking in the tent, fortunately not enough to ruin the night.

We woke up with some people around, we noticed after a while that they were setting up a little market!
We went down to check it out and we got ourself a nice home made pain au chocolate from two local guys.

We then drove off again towards the last stop of our journey: Devonport!Les mer
