      Wineglass Bay

      1. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Um vor allen anderen Touristen heute morgen in den Freycinet Nationalpark zu gelangen, ging es wieder früh los.
      Da wir bereits gestern den Namen des heutigen Zieles wussten kauften wir uns einen einheimischen Wein, um diesen heute mitzunehmen.
      Als wir die gut 200 Höhenmeter überwunden hatten, genossen wir den ersten Schluck Wein mit Aussicht auf einen der bekanntesten Strände von Tasmanien, den Wineglass Bay.
      Zu diesem Strand wollten wir dann natürlich auch noch hinunter gehen, was nochmals gute 20 Minuten dauerte.
      Auf den roten Steinen neben dem weissen Strand genossen wir unser Mittagessen, den weiteren Wein und natürlich die Sonne.
      Der fast 1000 Treppenstufen lange Rückweg war wohl auch deshalb etwas anstrengender als gewohnt 😁
      Früh kamen wir heute vom Tagesausflug zurück ins Hostel, genossen danach etwas Ruhe am Strand und assen danach mit der Reisegruppe ein letztes gemeinsames Nachtessen im Pub.      Les mer

      Rottnest island

      24. februar 2020, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Drove to get the ferry to Rottnest Island. We hadn't booked and managed to grab the last few tickets on the 40min fast ferry over. Got off and jumped on the bus. Rode it round to one of the first beaches.
      Heather had never been snorkelling before, so she had a go at that.
      Load of fish around to see, plus some under water snorkelling notes about the area.
      We bussed to the west end and saw dolphins surfing and seals having a lazy time.
      Then back to town for a spot of subway for lunch.
      With not much time before the ferry back, Hannah and I walked to the lighthouse and then saw a dolphin swimming around in the bay.
      On the way back on the ferry we saw a few flying fish, gliding for what looked like about 50m. Very cool.      Les mer

      Maria Island

      2. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Eine gute halbe Stunde früher als sonst machten wir uns heute, am letzten Tag der Tour, auf den Weg zur Maria Island. Nach einer wackligen Überfahrt sind wir auf der "kleinen" (115 km2) Insel angekommen. Bereits wenige Gehminuten später sahen wir am Wegrand erste Wombats. Auf diese folgten noch viele weitere. Wir kletterten den 'Painted Cliffs' entlang und genossen den Ausblick aufs tiefblaue Meer. Nach einen kurzen Stärkung liefen wir zu den 'Fossil Cliffs', welche aus tausenden versteinerten Muscheln bestehen. Auf dem Weg zurück zur Fähre entdeckten wir mehrere grössere Kängurus bei ihrer Siesta und abschliessend nochmals Wombats bei ihrer Futtersuche.
      Die Fahrt zurück ans "Festland" war deutlich ruhiger und angenehmer, auch wenn wir leider keine Delfine zu Gesicht bekamen.
      Mit einen Zwischenstopp in Richmond fuhren wir zurück nach Hobart ins Hotel. Dort genossen wir den Spabereich, während nebenan die gut gefüllte Waschmaschine lief.      Les mer

      Wineglass bay

      3. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Had a late start of 9.45. Both still trying to get over illness.
      Set off from our free camp site heading to Freycinet national park area.
      On the way through we stopped in at a vineyard called Devils Corner cellar door. Not bad wine, but nothing worth buying. We are back into Pino Noir area I think.
      Carried on round to the visitor center and decided on the Wineglass bay lookout walk. A 1.5 hour up and down to the beach. Brilliant views with clear blue water. A bit of a chilly wind so only stayed for 15 mins or so. There was an option of a longer route round the coast line, so we tagged that on for fun. Took us about 3 to 4 hours in the end.
      Checked into a nearby campsite for showers, beans, noodles and a nice sunset on the beach.      Les mer

      Hobart

      28. februar 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Arrived at 9.30 and got picked up by our campervan supplier, Tassie Campers.
      Both feeling pretty knackered and I was feeling full of cold. Much like the weather. Bloody freezing compared with Perth.
      We drove into the centre of Hobart and had fish and chips overlooking the harbour area.
      Then went to the tourist office to pick up some planning info for the trip.
      Hobart rest below the 1200m high mount Wellington. The sun was out so I fancied driving up to the top. Fantastic views over the top. I did some photography whilst Hannah had a snooze in the back of the camper.
      I then joined for a snooze before driving back down to town. A quick trip to Coles to get supplies for the next few days and I started to call round some campervan sites. After calling 6, none of them had a space. The closest one was 40 mins away with a space, so started driving there.
      As we were going Hannah found and booked a closer place. Took us 10 mins to get there, but then a further 20 mins to find our designated spot. It had hundreds of plots.
      Both knackered, bed time!      Les mer

      Ship Stern Bluff

      1. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Got up outside Auntie Jan's house about 8.45. I was still feeling a bit ill and Hannah was starting to come down with it. We had a chilled morning planning our 2 week Tassie trip. Caught sight of a pod of dolphins making their way up to Hobart for the morning commute.
      Had a chat with cousin Lara whilst Jan was out. Then had a lovely group lunch before setting off towards Port Arthur area.
      I checked the swell and it was looking around 16ft with light winds, so decided to take a detour to Ship Stern Bluff. One of the worlds most wild waves. After an hour and a half walk we found it.
      Massive powerful wave. We just missed a group of surfers who were just leaving on a jet ski.
      Amazing coastline with no one else around.
      With dusk approaching we walked back through the trees to our van.
      Moved it into the close by camping spot for 20 dollars for 2 of us. The owner came out and shined a bright light in our faces when we got in, complaining that we did not dip our lights when entering his field 🙄. Very friendly.      Les mer

      Bay of Fires. What a van spot.

      6. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Woke up to glorious sunshine right on the beach. Such a change from yesterday. I got into the swimmer and went for a dip straight into the dumping surf. There is my wash done for a few days 😃.
      We drove up and down the coast a bit, finding some great views and doing some drone time on the beach.
      From there we headed to a dairy / ice cream farm for some cheese tasting and a lime sorbet. Great views down the valley with big trees and grass fields.
      Then we drove a short distance to St Columbia falls. A very impressive waterfall. I imagine the rain from yesterday helped.
      Then decided to head to Ben Lomond. A 1500m high peak which you can drive up to. They use it as a ski resort in winter. The top was freezing in the wind, but spectacular views. We stayed around as the sun went down. Then drove back down the steep twisty road to the campsite 15mins down.
      Going to be a cold night, so I boiled up some water, put it into some bottles and put socks over the top. Instant hot water bottles. Toasty toasty.      Les mer

      Rainy day on the Tassie East coast.

      5. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

      Woke up and the van was in a massive puddle. Some big heavy rain which was due to last all day.
      Closest indoor place was Iron House, a brewery and distillery.
      So got a paddle of their beer and their gin. We tried the wine yesterday and it was nasty! Out of their 6 beers, none were particularly nice.
      After the 3 gins. Same story. All a bit like paint stripper. Maybe we should have gone for the cheese.
      Left after having a brownie and drove to a cellar door called Priory Ridge. Had an excellent tasting with an old lady, in a wooden shack and a wood burning stove.
      We purchased a bottle of their Chardonnay for the evening.
      Picked up some overpriced blue cheese and crackers from the farm shop in town then set off to find a camp spot in the bay of fires area.
      Got a spot right on the beach overlooking the crashing waves. Some big surf coming through.
      Had a sophisticated evening of french jazz, chardonnay and blue cheese. Magnifique.      Les mer

      From Devonport to Devonport.

      7. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      A cold night, with the hot water bottles definitely required!
      I had set my alarm for 7.45, but my phone died overnight, and with my head ducked under the blanket to keep warm, I didnt realise it was 10.30 until Hannah told me. Bit of a waste of a morning.
      Drove to Launceston, stopped into Coles for some food and booze and headed to a cellar door in a quarry called Penny Royal. The wine was from Relbia estate, the reds were so bad that Hannah tipped hers out.
      Cool place with loads of pirate themed stuff.
      Drove round the corner to a gorge with a full river and bridge running over the top.
      After much back and forth decided on heading to Devonport. As we had to really being that was were I used to work.
      Checked into a campsite and had a very posh birthday meal out at Drift. Thank you Hannah.      Les mer

      Happy Birthday to me!

      8. mars 2020, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Wow, 34 today. Getting well old now!
      Called the drunked family staying in Herm. Got given some wine and chocolates from Hannah. Good start to the day.
      We nipped to the Devonport lighthouse followed by a tiny market for a coffee.
      Then to the Anvers chocolate makers for some freebies, then to La Villa winery for some fancy wine tasting. All not bad, but not quite good enough to buy one.
      Then onwards to the Sheffield food and wine festival, where we listened to some great music and had some bacon beer - actually pretty tasty.
      We walked around the town to see some wall painting and a marble shop with mechanised thingies.
      Final activity was a place with loads of Mazes. Completed the main one in 12 mins flat. Much better time than the one I did with Andrew and the boys a few weeks back. Took us hours!
      Set off towards the campsite for the night. Nice place on a hill over looking lake Barrington. Full of people on jet skis and wake boats.
      Chilled out with some wine roundfings pasta.      Les mer
