Wandering Ozzies

Wandering Ozzies

We’ve sold everything and are hitting the road for an extended length of time travelling Australia. Some of you might remember that we had the name “Wandering Oz” from when we had our first caravan, 20 odd years ago. After all, our name is Osborne. Läs mer🌍Burnett Heads

Austin's Ferry - Hobart
7 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Reluctantly leaving Geeveston we returned north to stay at a private residence campsite in Austin's Ferry, a suburb of Hobart. Phil's Place was on the side of a hill overlooking the local council's road plant storage facility, as well as some other industrial warehouses. After the prettiness of Geeveston this was quite some comedown. We had shopping and cleaning to do so it was a convenient spot for the night.Läs mer

Geeveston - Hartz Mountains
6 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Another day camped in Geeveston. At $10 per night and 4th night free it was a great campsite. We took advantage of the $10 wheelbarrow load of firewood as well and were stunned when it was delivered to our site. The best $10 worth of firewood I've ever seen. We couldn't burn it all in 2 nights and ended up taking some with us. Today we headed up into the Hartz Mountains National Park to explore. In particular the track to Lake Osborne sounded good. Can't imagine why. Again lots of gravel roads and potholes but spectacular scenery along the way. Lake Osborne is a glacial alpine lake surrounded by ancient King Billy pines that is walked to through changing landscapes of forests and moorlands. A stunning spot.
On the way back we stopped at Arve Falls, one of the many waterfalls throughout the mountains.Läs mer

Resenär Ancient King Billy pines. These trees can live to be thousands of years old but don't respond well to fire.

Geeveston - Cockle Creek
5 november 2021, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Literally the end of the road in a southerly direction in Australia. Leaving the van in Geeveston we drove south to Cockle Creek on Recherche Bay. We had considered towing the van down to camp in the National Park here but were glad we didn't. The gravel road in to the camp was narrow and potholed and the camp itself seemed to be completely overtaken by guys with boats. Fishing is the only thing to do here apart from bushwalking.
From the National Park office we walked to the Whale Point lookout and learned about the whaling that used to occur here. So tragic. The South Cape Walk also leaves from the same office start point but we figured 16km and 5 hours was a bit beyond us at this stage. It would have been fun to get as far south in Australia as we could.Läs mer

The weather was again being difficult so today was spent mostly exploring the town during the occasional non-rain periods. We had a family of ducks keeping us company at the site. Mother Duck was most protective of her 9 ducklings as they wandered around the area.Läs mer

Leaving Bruny Island there seemed to be some problem with the loading ramp for the ferry. We sat in line waiting for around 20 minutes while they tried to lower the ramp. After finally fixing it and a quick trip back over the bay, we headed towards the Huon Valley following the Southern Edge scenic drive. This passed through such quaint towns as Snug (and Lower Snug), Flowerpot, Cygnet, Woodstock (and Upper Woodstock) finishing up at Geeveston. This is the town where the TV show Rosehaven was mostly filmed and it was fun exploring the town and identifying landmarks from the show. The town is also known for its wood sculptures that are dotted around the streets.
We camped in the grounds of the Ex-Servicemen's and Women's Club on a grassy riverbank site. Again we were the only ones there.Läs mer

Heading south and through Hobart we drove to Kettering to catch the barge across to Bruny Island. An uneventful trip across and a short drive to the local landscape supplies store who have powered campsites at the back of the store. We were the only ones there with a lovely view out to Great Bay. The owners, who live further back on the site, have quite the collection of old farming implements. It never ceases to amaze me at the complexity of some of these things.Läs mer

Port Arthur
30 oktober 2021, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Another day in Port Arthur as we took advantage of the Stay 4 nights Pay for 3 deal. We went and checked out the Blowhole, Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen and the Dog Line at Eaglehawk Neck. All very interesting. We took the long way back to the park by driving the west coast of the Tasman Peninsular through Tarana and Nubeena. A stop at the appropriately named Remarkable Cave on the way back was worth all 120 steps down and 120 steps back up again. It really is a stunning coastline.Läs mer
