Our alarm went off at 4 o’clock and after showers, breakfast and final packing of the car, we headed to the airport . Our first flight was Hobart to Melbourne and then Melbourne to Sunshine Coast.   We found out we were on the same plane with the same crew for both...

The plan for today was to check out early and head back to Hobart to try and get to the Penitentiary - again. Rather than attempting to park the car in the city, I decided it would be best to drive over to the Shoreline Hotel where we will be staying for the evening...

Today was our last day in the Huon Valley, and we thought we would venture a little further south to the town of Geeveson, and onto the Tahune Air Walk. We came to the air walk when we were first here in 2005 what we didn’t know in the 20 years since was there have...

We had a good sleep in this morning.  We had a look around Huonville and Franklin. It has been awhile since we’ve been down this way, but not much changes in this part of the state . We stopped in at the wooden boat center and had a look around and learn some of the...

Our Maria Island Cruise was due to depart at 9:00 and we needed to be in Triabunna around 8:00 - 8:30am. The drive from Bicheno is approximately 90mins, so the alarm was set for 5:15am 🤨 (aren’t we on holidays) Shower, breakfast, final packing and on the road. Luckily...

Our adventuring today took us to the East Coast Nature World . We have been here before, but it is always nice to have a look around and learn about the Tasmanian devils. I bought a little bag of pellets to feed the kangaroos as well. We had half an hour before the...

Today we planned a very quiet day. After a little breakfast, we headed to Devil's Corner winery.  Although neither of us drink much at all any more, Devils Corner Pinot Noir is one of my favourites. The cellar door and café was not open until 10 o’clock and it was...

After a comfortable nights sleep, we woke and made breakfast before getting ready to go exploring. All was well until, I was getting ready to have a shower and turned on the “tastic” heat light in the bathroom.  The power tripped 🙁 We needed to call the owner, Glen,...

We had packed the majority our things last night, so there was just breakfast to be had and some final packing before we checked out. From the directly outside the hotel, we caught the SkyBus back to the airport to collect our hire car. We were given s Subaru...

Wandering around, we decided to have a look in at the museum. We had seen mention that the museum is where the remains of the last Tasmanian tiger is displayed. One surprise we did get was seeing a display of a sugar glider eating a swift parrot 😱.  I was aware that...

Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 Hobart managed a white Christmas, with Mt Wellington having decent fall of snow overnight. We could not see the snow from the hotel though 🙁 In fairness, we could not see the mountain top at all This was the view from the webcam on the mountain and...

We woke to slightly overcast skies, but the forecast was for a fine day. Generally speaking, we have found, if you can the top of Mt Wellington in the morning, the day stays mostly fine. Today’s plan was to get the Red Decker bus out to the Cascade Brewery and get off...

We both had a good night sleep and slept in until nearly 6 o’clock. After making breakfast in our room, we needed to walk up to Woolworths to get some more milk. We also decided to buy some groceries ready for Christmas Day as we know not much will be open, or if they...

After a big food day yesterday, neither of us were particularly hungry for breakfast. We did not have anything planned for today, so we  walked back up the center of the city and just had a look at the buildings and the shops. We had been given a voucher for Christmas...

We managed to have a reasonable sleep in this morning thanks to good block out curtains For breakfast this morning, we thought we’d try the buffet breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and it was really good 😀 After breakfast, we went for a walk up to the main City...

Our flight today from Maroochydore to Hobart was due to depart at 10:35. I had booked a taxi to collect us from home at 8 o’clock. We decided on a taxi because, with Mick’s half price fares,  it is only around $50 to the airport.  When I looked at parking the car for...

Plans for this year's Christmas break began way back in April when I thought I had best book flights if we wanted to go to Hobart at the end of the year.Last year I left it until October and found that there were no flight  available.  We did end up going to Tasmania...
