    The most southern tip of Australia

    21 januari 2020, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    This is the most southern part of Australia that you can access. It was cold even though it was a beautiful day (for Tasmania). There is bugger all between us and Antartica!!!

    Now just Bess and I enjoying Tasmania

    10 januari 2020, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 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.Läs mer

    Port Arthur and surrounds

    8 januari 2020, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We all went and did the Port Arthur tour today , one of the first penal colonies in Australia ,which appeared expensive but it turned out to be a great experience , which took most of the day and still didn’t see it all , but enough. The ticket allows you to come back the next day if you want to see more. Those were tough days back then for sure, but some how some of them survived the brutality and injustice to go on and prosper while others just fell prey to the system for their life, albeit a short one. The buildings they built back then were magnificent and high, when you think about what they had to build them with. A lot of them still standing today and the mortar lines are still dead straight today even with the weight they put on them, (the boys in Sydney building those high rises could learn something from these guys). We did a little bit of driving around and saw some beautiful coast and farming land which had their own beaches. We spent the last day with Nik’s and Andy’s down in front of their B&B fishing off a jetty and doing a little kayaking (until Andy tipped over, and according to Andy it was a near death experience) which put paid to the kayaking. We had a very pleasant day. Bess caught a leather jacket fish and Nik’s caught a small flathead. I collected oysters off the rocks and we ate the leather jacket and the oysters that night after I shucked them with my new shucking knife. We crumbed the oysters and the fish, both were delicious. What a great day!!😁😁
    Thanks for a great time Nik’s and Andy and we must do it again sometime 👍😄    Läs mer

    Went north/east and down the east coast

    5 januari 2020, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Left Launceston and headed north east to the east coast, then followed the coast down to Swansea. Another great drive where we saw a very blue but toxic lake, its a man made lake where all the natural minerals when mixed with the water created this brilliant blue lake , so sad its toxic it look great for a swim. On out to the coast and down through some beautiful little hamlets till we got to Swansea. There Nik’s and Andy had booked another air B&B which kindly had enough room for us. Stayed a couple of days here checking out the town and of course another oyster farm. Nik’s and Andy ate their fill while Bess and myself just watched on. I bought a shucking knife there as there are plenty of oysters on the rocks around Tasmania and they are a lot cheaper, there for the taking and just require a little work, also I can crumb them and cook them. We were going to walk to wine glass bay but after Nik’s tumble on the last walk we decided to give it a miss ( Bess and I might come back and do it at a later date). From here we followed the coast until we had to go inland and over some very high hills through some beautiful forests , road a bit rough but magnificent scenery. Ended up at another air B&B at a place called Taranna , not far from port Arthur, and our next tour.Läs mer

    Happy new year Bess is back

    1 januari 2020, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    Today we went for lunch at a beautiful restaurant that Andy picked and it was a good choice. We ate and drank heartily enjoying the company, and the first day of 2020. The next day we were busy, a mine tour, a platypus and seahorse tour followed by another long lunch. The self guided mine tour was at the mine that collapsed after an earthquake in the 90s in Beaconsfield. It trapped 3 miners, killing one and trapping the other two. It was a fascinating story with, thankfully, a happy ending for the 3 survivors!! Then onto the platypus display which was both entertaining as well as very informative. These fellows are beautiful to watch but just like all things in the animal kingdom they can be very nasty when their world is threatened or they are breeding. Not so the seahorses. They are so beautiful and graceful to watch. This place breeds all sorts of seahorses, l mean thousands of them , for Chinese medicine, commercial aquariums, and home aquariums. You sure can get a lot of these fellas in one tank. Ah now for lunch!!
    On the 3rd we drove up into the mountains to Liffey Falls. We went for a lovely walk down to the falls through some beautiful Tasmanian bush. All went well until Nik’s took a tumble, but she was okay , so we had lunch in the picnic area and then beat a retreat back to the creamery for a feel better exercise, which miraculously worked.
    On the 4th we did a tour of the Boag’s brewery. This brewery started in the late 1800s and until the late 1900s was owned by the Boag family. Another great tour with an excellent finish, a cheese platter to have as you tried their beers. The beer was on tap and there was plenty of cheese,
    brilliant , thanks again Andy and Nik’s for organising all these things to do.    Läs mer

    Around Launceston

    29 december 2019, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    On the 29th Nik’s Andy and I took a drive west of Launceston towards Davenport looking at some absolutely beautiful farming country. It went from dairy farms to intensive horticulture including all your berries, cherries, potatoes for miles, plus veggie farms and a truffle farm which was really interesting. We visited a fresh water salmon farm, tried some smoked salmon, then a cheese factory , a cheese platter with a wine and then I had to sit the last one out because they stopped at a creamery . All sorts of ice cream here but nothing took my fancy, Andy and nik’s enjoyed it though. Tomorrow I am cleaning the truck as I pick Bess up on the 31st.Läs mer

    Cygnet to Launceston

    28 december 2019, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We left Bruny and traveled west to Cygnet on the Huon river, to Nicks and Andy’s second air B&B. The next day went for a drive up one side of the Huon river and down the other side visiting lots of beautiful old towns as we went. The day after that we headed towards Launceston and I suggested we take the back roads, it’ll take a little longer but far more picturesque and very little traffic. They agreed, so we zigzagged our way to Launceston, instead of taking 2 and a half hours it took 6 hours , and what a fantastic drive it was. We traveled through farm land, forestry, mountains and horticultural land as we came into Launceston. The mountain we came down into Launceston dropped us down 1200m in a very short time ( ears were popping) and the brakes were very hot. I pick up Bess in a couple of days and we will start looking around Launceston and then down the east coast.Läs mer

    Christmas on Bruny island

    25 december 2019, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    After staying in a beautiful beach camp the night before I met Nicks and Andy for oysters at the Get Shucked Oyster shed., They ate up heartily while I just watched thinking 🤔 who would eat snot balls and appear to be enjoying them. They had some which were crumbed and kilpatrick style, which looked edible but they wouldn’t share them 😡. Any way they had already been to the whisky brewery and now the cheese factory, I helped them out there, and on to the chocolate factory , I sat that one out, before heading to their air B&B. The next couple of days were spent checking the island out and enjoying a great Christmas roast 🎄😎.Läs mer
