    Now just Bess and I enjoying Tasmania

    January 10, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Nik’s and Andy left this morning to fly back to Perth. Now Bess and I will be travelling at our own pace, slowly to very slowly. Moved a massive 20k west to Lime Bay. After the big move we rested for 5 days before planning our next move. Did a couple walks to some beautiful spots but no kayaking as the wind kept blowing from the wrong direction. Our next stop was to be Fortescue bay , another 20 odd k away , but it’s still school holidays and the place was booked out. So a big push north west ( 35k ) into a little town called Primrose Sands. Drove around this pretty little town, stayed the night and moved on the next day. Moving west towards Hobart ( 30k away ) we didn’t quite get there as we found another beautiful spot called South Arm, down a peninsula on the east side of the Derwent river just south of Hobart. Next day on the way towards Hobart we picked up some supplies, then pushed on through Hobart to a free camp across the road from a pub in Longley. Had a lovely meal here with some live music (which was only ok,) but hey it was still pleasant enough 😊. From here we followed the coast south down the D’Entrecasteaux channel and then turned north back up the Huon river to Huonville. Here we could cross the Huon river and go south again towards the most southern part of Australia. Stopped at a little town called Geeveston, did some washing before heading to Cockle creek.Read more
