Cradle Mountain-night tour
4 Maret 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
We had an excellent night spotlighting. So many animals. We kicked off with a wombat in at the visitors centre. Gosh, has this place changed. When we were here on our honeymoon, we just drove down to Lake Dove. Signed the hikers book and took off for the day. Now it's shuttle buses, cafes and a huge visitor centre with a massive car park.

We spotted heaps of wombats, brush tail possums, Bennett's wallabies, and Pademelons. But the icing on the cake had to be seeing an Eastern Quoll. The first time we have ever seen one in the wild. A very rear sighting. Plus, it was very obliging and sat quietly on the side of the road for ages while we all got our happy snaps.

Paul was an amazing guide. With a real love of the park and it flora and fauna.Baca selengkapnya

Did a mini food trail this morning. Drove back to Chudleigh. We stopped here yesterday on the way to Deloraine. Had a great stall, with vegies, eggs, and baked goods. Pick up yummy fresh veg and eggs.

We wanted to visit Melita Honey Farmshop. But it was closed yesterday and opened today. Stocked up on lots of great honey. We have become honey addicts. Not to forget their great ice cream. Was also going to grab some more vegies, but they were closed today.

On the way back, we called into 41° south salmon farm. Delicious hot smoked salmon and more of our fresh vegies for dinner tonight. Plus a nice salmon rillettes on crackers while Graham watches the footy this avo.Baca selengkapnya

Camping at the Deloraine RV site. Such a pretty town. We stopped here for breakfast when we got off the boat on our ill-fated covid trip. Then again, 10 days later, to grab a subway for lunch, heading back to Devonport to catch the boat back.

Walked along the river this afternoon. Then, down the main street back to the van. I had forgotten about all the cute statues along the street.Baca selengkapnya

Another beautiful day. Had a little rain overnight.

Revisited Marakoopa Caves this morning. We first did it on our honeymoon all those years ago.
Lots of glow worms. We also did the walk up and back to the cave through the Palm Grove. An extra 15mins each way. So pretty. Was worth the walk instead of driving up. With all the steps inside the cave, we certainly got our exercise today.

We were thrilled to spot an echidna on our drive this morning. An adorable little juvenile.Baca selengkapnya

Moved camp today. Free camping in the Mole Creek Karst National Park. Not far from Mole Creek.

Explored a couple of caves at the camp site this afternoon. Feeling very adventurous. The creek ran through both caves, so a bit of paddling was required. No sign posts are maps anywhere. Just had to wing it.

Had a well-earned hot cross bun and coffee when we made it back to camp.Baca selengkapnya

Another beautiful day in Tassie. Having a great time heading out exploring.

Today was the Tasmania Arboretum. So lovely just strolling around enjoying the sunshine. No luck spotting any platypus in the lake. There is some living there and can often be spotted during the day.

On the way home, we picked up some local cider and fruit and veg. Granny Smith's for 50c a kilo. Apple crumble for dessert.Baca selengkapnya

Our first Tassie NP. The fees here are so reasonable. $38 for a years pass.

Was a beautiful farm land and forests to arrive at our destination. Picked up some honey on the way home. Just missed out on the new potatoes fresh from the farm.

Did the bird hide walk at the NP. So much wildlife. Spotted our first Tassie Devil. To fast to get a photo. Adorable Pademelon wallabies everywhere.

Then, down for a walk along Bakers Beach. An excellent walking beach.
A picnic lunch at Griffiths Point up the east end of the beach.

The days have been fantastic so far.Baca selengkapnya

23 Februari 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Heading to state #6

An early start Friday morning to board the Spirit of Tasmania. The new terminal at Geelong is very nice. Plus seemed a lot more organised than the old one.
The day trip over was excellent. A little swell after we left Port Phillip. Enjoyed doing the trip during the day. Not that you see much beside the ocean. Travelled down to Railton after we disembarked. Love free camp area.

Just ducked back up to Devonport the next day to shop. We were keen to go to the Farmers Market at the showgrounds to pick up fresh vegies. Where very disappointed. Only one stand with a few sad look veggies. Mostly just food and coffee vans. Back to woolies to shop.

We did a quick drive up to the Lighthouse and a walk around while in town. Feeling a bit tired so headed back to the van for a restful afternoon.Baca selengkapnya

Free camping at Meredith Park just east of Colac for 2 nights. It's a lovely spot on Colac Lake.
Just finished setting up, and a squadron of pelicans drifted past. What a lovely welcome.
Checked out the windmill park at Beeac just up the road.
Had a nice stroll around the Botanical Gardens in Colac. Down the far end of the lake where we camped. We can see the light down here at night from the campground. We also visited the very impressive war memorial in Colac.

Off to Geelong this morning. Then, over to Tassie on Friday.Baca selengkapnya

17 Februari 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Had a fantastic day revisiting the Western end of the Great Ocean Road today. Started grey and cloudy. Then the sun broke through to a lovely day

We started going down to the beach at Gibson's Steps. We didn't do this when we were here years ago... it was wet and windy. I'm so
pleased we did it this time.

Then, just up the road to the 12 Apostles.

On to Port Campbell for lunch and a stroll. We stayed in the van park here last time. It's a very pretty spot with a nice swimming beach.

We left our favourite Lock Ard Gorge till last. When we were here last, you could go down steps to the Gorge. These are now closed off as in a dangerous condition. Lock Ard Gorge is the sight of a tragic ship wreck. Only 2 survivors. A young lad and girl. They washed through the narrow entrance to the Gorge and up onto the beach. The young lad climbed the cliffs to find help.

The only downside to this beautiful area is the bus loads of visitors. We are no longer used to crowds. My tolerance for people that block up areas taking 100s of selfies is at all time low. Have become a grumpy old woman.Baca selengkapnya

Did the short drive from Portland to Cape Bridgewater today. What a stunning spot.

✔️ best beach we have seen in a while. Even if it was too cold to swim.
✔️ fantastic walk to the Petrified Forest and Blowholes.
✔️ Bridgewater lakes. A short drive inland. It's a very pretty spot to paddle a canoe, swim, or picnic. Had a large group of school children arrive at the same time as us.
✔️ Tarragal Caves near the lakes. Was a very steep climb up. But a great veiw. We keep forgetting we aren't as agile as we used to be. Took it very slow coming down.
🦭 you can also veiw a seal colony at Cape Bridgewater. As it's a 2.5 hr walk with a high leave of fitness required. We decided maybe not for us.

An excellent day out 😊Baca selengkapnya

We have crossed over into Victoria...our 5th state.

Had a drive along the coastline this afternoon. I was very excited to find a Gannet colony. The only one on mainland Australia. Plus, it breeding season, so they are here. Even more exciting ... we are doing a free tour of the colony with the rangers. So get to go inside the gated area and get up close.

There is a stunning Lighthouse out on Cape Nelson. With all the charming workers cottages. These can be rented out. There is even a nice coffee shop.

It is a very nice town with lots of lovely old buildings.Baca selengkapnya

We free camped here overnight on our way to Portland Vic.
Was a nice grassy spot, sheltered from the wind. You could camp on either side of the creek. A short stroll to the beach. Unfortunately, the beach was a bit yuck. Lots of dead Wobbygong sharks everywhere. Plus, the beach was thick with seaweed. Made for a very smelly mess. They think the sharks died after the massive rain falls recently in the area. The fresh water washing into the sea from the creek lowered the salinity.

The other interesting thing was a massive flock of black swans. Over 60. Have never seen them on the open oeacn before

Didn't take any photos. Forgot to take my photo when we checked out the beach...wasn't keen to go back down.Baca selengkapnya
