I think God wanted me to experience the time of my life. That was the reason why I chose Tasmania out of the many states of Australia to visit if I won this ‘Unexpected Australia Adventure’ jointly organized by one of our local radio stations and newspapers. At that time I didn’t know exactly what [...]

Arthur River is like a gateway to the wilderness. It is in western part of Tasmania on the coast. Our family spent 12 relaxing days there after leaving Launceston. From our beach house I could see lots of snapped trees piled on either side of the twinkling river. The water way led into the vast [...]

I went to visit Tasmania for a month in August/September and I saw the world! Everything I could wish to see, do and experience I did in magical Tasmania. On an island about 450ks by 350Ks, we travelled over 4600ks around this picturesque paradise, navigating every highway, road and track that took our fancy. Apart from the constant breathtaking scenery I [...]

Just pick a theme. It was soon clear there was plenty of Tasmanian wildlife willing to pose. These [...]

Whenever was the queue itself a prelude to an enchanted evening experience. In Hobart it was. So much fun for us Sydneysiders!? As we waited in the 8pm queue at the ornate gates, flood-lit in moody blood-red, the buzz in the air was palpable. With the overseas visitors in front of us, we shared tales of the [...]

I’ve seen countless coastlines in Australia, yet those on Flinders Island would have to be the best of all. In January I did a Flinders Island walking holiday with Auswalk. Who could imagine there is so much walking opportunity on Flinders, yet with 5 mountain ranges, there is plenty. We did not see another person [...]
