We got a bit of a later start this morning than we would have liked but finally got packed up and on our way at around 10:30. I like to blog first thing in the morning for the day before. Some days it takes a long time to write and upload pictures. Today was one of those days. I had a lot to say about yesterday. We drove north up the Freycinet Peninsula to our first stop of the day. It was a blowhole on the beach just outside of the town of Bicheno. We thought ...

We came to Tasmania for the hiking, the food and the wine. Today we found all three. We had been looking forward to our hike to Wine Glass Bay for a long time. We were a touch disappointed when we woke up this morning to high winds and overcast skies but decided we were going to make the best of it and ventured out to the park. Freycinet National Park occupies a large part of the Freycinet Peninsula, named after the French navigator Louis de Freycinet. He circu...

Today it is cold and windy and we have even encountered some trees that are turning gold and red. We followed a scenic route named The Convict Trail. We stopped at a small roadside botanical park. There were good examples of most of the Tasmanian vegetation. Apparently it is very dry here. Th...

We headed out to Wrest Point Resort and Casino which is where we are staying our first night. We aren't really interested in the casino part of t...

We were quite boring today. We took a train from Woy Woy to Sydney. Woy Woy is the town next to Umina Beach. We checked into our hotel and decided to just hang out in our room with a bottle of champagne and room service. We have an early flight to Hobart Tasmania in the morning. We have been on the go so it was nice for us not to do anything. I did receive a message that if you had my blog starred as a favorite or had it directly linked to your home page you may...
