That was today’s plan: Finish posts, the writer is four days behind. Luckily, New Zealand is planned. We are in New Zealand from May 3rd to June 19th. And as so often, things turn out differently than expected. Got up, looked out and again wonderful weather, there must still be something to do. Stanley, a […]
After many curves we reach the national park, as always well organized, the shuttle bus takes us to the starting point for our march around Dove Lake. The bus is included in the park pass, which is valid for all parks in Tasmania. A mountain lake with Cradle Mountain in the background, so beautiful and […]
From Swansea we take the Tasman Highway which takes us to Launceston, a beautiful city with beautiful buildings. In the harbor we had lunch, the oysters were great. Sylvia has found another wool shop The Yarn Inn near Devonport, we are curious what it will get. Then we drive on to our accommodation in Sulphur […]
We wanted to take a rest day today, but the weather was so great. The destination again the Freycinet National Park with the Cape Tourville Lighthouse and Lookout, on the way we passed Sleepy Bay, or rather we walked down. The beach of Swansea can be really enjoyed with an after-work beer. Tomorrow we drive […]
We leave Hobart towards the east coast and drive to Swansea, a small tranquil town near Freycinet National Park. The Tasman Highway A3 leads us to the first stop of the Spiky Bridge. We first drive past Swansea. The first viewpoint at the Devil’s Corner Outlook with a view of the bay is already a […]
We had to be at the pier of Hobart early, so we started walking at 06.40. We took the bus 150 km east of Hobart to the area of Port Arthur. After a cappuccino and a lukewarm muffin, we were able to board the boats equipped with capes. The three fat engines at the back […]
We fly from Adelaide to Melbourne and then on to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Our accommodation is near Elisabeth Street, which reaches into the harbour. We arrive in the evening and go shopping and then to the restaurant, it was not so easy to choose one from the huge selection. Bye Bye Adelaide Hobart […]
The third largest island in Australia is 150 km from Adelaide, so we had a lot of bus travel ahead of us. Very early at 06.15 a.m. we had to trot to the Central Bus Station, because there is no bus so early on Sunday, just by taxi. After all the sheep were collected, we […]
We did it again, it was so great last time, so off to the stadium. In Adelaide there is the Gather Round (Footy Festival). The stadium is not quite as new as the one in Perth but just as impressive. As always very well organized. We have adapted and now also drink whiskey cola from […]
These old gardens are simply gorgeous, so many old trees and stories to go with them. We were lucky, shortly after we arrived in the garden, a guided tour started. We are happy to be there. The different areas of the garden and again old and newer buildings that could be seen.
