The first time we visited Cataract Gorge I was surprised how close it was to our house in Launceston. We climbed up a big hill that mum nicknamed ‘butt-cruncher hill’. It wasn’t easy climbing up the ‘Zig Zag’ track but it did help to jump from rock to rock. We checked out the look-out a [...]

I’m on a ‘mystery walking tour’ [...]

The rented Toyota ute tore northwards along the empty highway linking Hobart and Launceston. A primeval landscape, littered with vast expanses of Summer yellow and corrugated sheets of intense heat. The howling wind swept up spectres of dust soon to become something else. Our gazes were unfocused and introspective. She was staring at the sand [...]

In 1983 my family, including 4 children, did a house and car swap with a Hobart family who had 7 children. When dollars don’t stretch for family holidays, this was the perfect solution. Both families had one month’s free accommodation for the Christmas holidays. We all loved our time in Tasmania and we made good [...]

We decided to spend our honeymoon in Tasmania. We arrived on the 13th March and departed on the 25th in 2006. We stayed at various Bed and Breakfasts for our accomodation.
