Tasmania is a fully sick place. We went there on holidays in April 2007. The blog came along for the journey. Check out the posts to relive the memories: Tassie Tour Journal Day 1; Tassie Tour Journal Day 2; Tassie Tour Journal Day; Tassie Tour Journal Day 4; Tassie Tour Journal Day 5; Tassie Tour …
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 road was crazy crazy zigzaggy for about 100kms of the 260km journey. Good fun! Shout out to THE GIDEONS! Everywhere we go they have placed …
