Back to Australia. This is what greeted us as when we emerged from the big boat. Melbourne. Good trip home.
Reflections on Tasmania:
In the words of Juan Antonio Samaranch: Best. Holiday. Ever.
The people aren’t that weird
Not all the women have mullets
Everyone waits for the little green man to appear before crossing the street. [...]
Last day in Tasmania. Spent the day in the car. Buying some birthday presents. Eating. This lunch was fantastic. French stick. Cheese. Cascade Ginger Beer and Apple stuff. Killing time in Devonport waiting for the boat. (Coffee freaks – no Starbucks… so we had a coffee [...]
We left Hobart with some lovely coffee. Shout out to all my coffee snob friends and family (esp Andy M and Guthers… EDIT: + Michelle)
Ross is this little town about 76kms out of Launceston. Quaint. Used to have a women’s prison during the convict days. PS. I heart Row.
Launceston. We’re [...]
Today is ANZAC day. Watched the 11am march through the main drag of Hobart. Thankful for sacrifice of Australians. Thankful most of all for Jesus’ sacrifice (1 John 4:10).
Port Arthur. Expensive. Worth it. Tour was great. We’ve enjoyed checking out Heritage buildings, learning about Convicts and becoming better [...]
Fantastic sleep-in this morning. (Mental note: don’t get used to them!) Mt Wellington is tall. Mt Wellington is colder the higher you get. Mt Wellington is great. (That was a Haiku if you stretch the rules to 6 syllables/ 12 syllables/ 6 syllables.)
Last Friday I said that there’s no traffic [...]
We had a delicious breakfast before leaving on our road trip from Strahan to Hobart. Row was disappointed that she had to see her breakfast for a second time. The road was crazy crazy zigzaggy for about 100kms of the 260km journey. Good fun!
Shout out to THE GIDEONS! Everywhere we go [...]
Day 4 = Boat day. Cruising in the World Heritage Area on Gordon River.
‘Hell’s Gates’ (top right) is where Macquarie Harbour meets the Ocean. The worst convicts were sent to Sarah Island (inside Macquarie Harbour) between 1822 and 1833. The conditions were harsh and many convicts considered it worse than a death [...]
Self portrait # 37. “Goodbye” to Cradle Mountain.
But had one more walk… before driving to Strahan.
Staying in a cottage in Strahan for 2 nights. Dinner in town. Good damper. Fantastic steak. Worst carpet in Tasmania.
For a long time I have made jokes about Tasmanians having 3 arms. Confirmation: it’s true. From the moment we woke up on The Spirit of Tasmania this morning – we saw nothing but weird people. Odd people. Nutty people. They must have been in hiding last night and only [...]
Holidays. Sweet holidays. Hope you enjoy our Tassie Tour Journal.
Early start. Too early. The time of day when only heretics are on TV. One of the best things about staying at Row’s parents place is being able to steal some ‘Up & Go’ from the fridge. It wasn’t enough [...]
Listen to Episode 50 here.

Just watched Baz L's Romeo + Juliet. Only the 2nd time I've seen it (1st time was when it came out 10 years ago). Brilliant story (good job William). Brilliant movie.
