Tassie Trip Day 6 Bicheno - Swansea - Spikey Bridge - Kate's Berry Farm - Tribianna - Pirate Bay - Tasman Arch - Devils Kitchen - Port Arthur - White Beach. I've decided that Tasmanian Roads should be renamed Dead Possum Highway with just a number afterwards. There is that much possum roadkill it's not funny! We packed up and left the beach at just after 8.30 and wound our way down the coast. Our first stop was the town of Swansea which had a beautiful lookou...

Tassie Trip 2015 Day 5 Bicheno The sun returned today much to our delight. We awoke slowly today to cloudy skies - we had a bit of a sleep in on order to chill a bit being on the go so much and with some later nights recently.

Our first stop was in a little town called Ledgerwood where the locals played trees to commemorate those locals who sacrificed their lives...

Tassie Trip January 2015 Day 2 - 7 January 2015 Launceston - Beauty Point - Beaconsfield - Bridestowe Lavender Estate - Cataract Gorge - Launceston It was an animal kind of day today.

We stopped at the Seahorse sanctuary first and were amazed at the thousands of Seahorses in various states of age being houses at this sanctuary. The most...
