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 came into light when we pulled into the shores of Devonport. Mullets are indeed a fashionable item on women down here.

First stop. Penguin: A town that allegedly has a Penguin population of 3000. The penguins here look more like seagulls. The only normal looking penguins weren’t normal at all – they were made of plastic and one was twice the size of Row! The town of Penguin has a problem with scooters riding skateboards.

Sign 1: Wrong. The best water in Australia comes straight out of the taps here in Tasmania!
Sign 2: Wrong. It’s a trick
Sign 3: Wrong. Beware of Tasmanian Devils – yes. Beware of Tasmanian Tigers – maybe. Beware of Traffic – definitely not! There is no traffic… maybe that’s why there is a need to beware – there isn’t much – so beware it might come out of nowhere?
Sign 4: Wrong. No ice today (wait a month of two…)

We went for a great walk around Dove Lake below Cradle Mountain. Magnificent! Best. Bushwalk. Ever. It’s difficult to look at such a marvellous creation without seeing the handiwork of a Creator. The Chateau that we stayed at was very nice – good Devonshire Tea (coffee) and a great Art Exhibition. Most of the exhibits were photos from Tasmania. Favourite photo: a bear too smart for a salmon.

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 – so coffee at Sutton Forrest was necessary.

Early lunch in Albury. Best building? The train station. On our way into Melbourne we noticed this unfinished blue fence – no wonder Sydney is a better place!

We spent 3 hours in St Kilda while we waited to board the Spirit of Tasmania. Good coffee on St Kilda Pier. There were lots of fishing rods cast into the ocean without fishermen attending them – where were the fishermen? Maybe Mark 1:16-18??? The Spirit of Tasmania was lots of fun. There were some confusing signs onboard. A prize for the best interpretation of the above sign…

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.
