Hanging around in Hobart

Today was a day to start exploring Hobart and what better way to do that than wandering around town. We started by heading into the main shopping area stopping at a couple of bookshops and, in the second, found a

Tantalising Tasman

On our way down to Hobart we decided to take a diversion – a similar diversion to the one made by thousands of convicts from 1833 onwards – to Port Arthur. The differences between our journey and theirs were manifold

Meandering around Maria

We are now heading south and we had been recommended en route to visit Maria Island, so we booked a morning ferry across to the island from Triabunna. The ferry takes just half an hour and lands at a jetty

Further around Freycinet

With another day staying at Freycinet, we decided to explore a little further afield. We started though with a browse around a couple of other sites in the National Park. We started with Honeymoon Bay – perhaps not entirely appropriate

Formidable Freycinet

One of the main reasons for coming to Freycinet was to see the National Park and, with the park visitor information centre just a couple of miles down the road, it was easy to get there promptly. As ever, the

A day in the car today …. We set off early from Strahan as the plan is to get right over to the east coast by this evening – a drive of about six and a half hours. However, to

Shimmying around Strahan

A nice lazy start today as we had nothing in particular planned. The forecast was for rain (much needed around here) later in the day, so we decided to head off walking down the Ocean Beach Trail. This is just

From the Cradle to Strahan

Today was moving on day once again, so the usual routine kicked in. Pack everything away again (amazing how much we can spread ourselves out in a room after just two days), move it to the car and squeeze it

Walking around the Cradle
