The journey across the Bass Straight was a little rough in parts but Kylie didn’t vomit so that was a plus.
While Kylie and I had a fairly restless night, Ryan slept like a log and didn’t wake up until we woke him up at 6am to disembark. He’s a bit behind on his sleep.....
In stark contrast to last night it took only 20 minutes to disembark, pass through quarantine and start our journey around Tasmania, The Apple Isle:
We headed west across to Cradle Mountain. It took a couple of hours driving through the rain, fog and winding roads (for most of which Kylie and Ryan slept):
Unfortunately we couldn’t see the mountain through the fog, but we could see Lake Dove that sits at the bottom of Cradle Mountain:
It was bloody freezing when we arrived (those smiles are frozen on), only 9 degrees – the first time we’ve had single digit temperatures during the day!!
Aunty Kate and Uncle Adam are also in Tasmania at the moment (Adam’s here for work) so we caught up for dinner as it’s Adam’s 30th today. Happy Birthday Uncle Adam!!
What did Aunty Kate say?!?!
Accommodation – Big 4 Discovery Holiday Park Hobart
Rest Stops – Devonport, Cradle Mountain, Oatlands, Bridgewater
Quiz Question #74 – What name was given to Tasmania in 1642 by Dutch explorers?
