Got up early for our 4hrs walk to Shadow Lake and round. Unfortunately, the scenery was a bit disappointing, i felt like a right outback girl, tackling my way through the bush. Anna mate you would have hated it! Lots of trees, trees and more trees. Loads of wildlife too, you'll be pleased to know. I even came face to face with a snake, it was pretty scary believe me. Shadow Lake was nice but, unfortunately for us that part of the walk lasted, maybe be, what, a st...

Hi there Eventually got to Cradle Mountain, where we did a 2hr walk around Dove Lake. It was a lush place and luckily for us the weather was fine, apparently it rains all the time. From there we drove to the not so pretty Queenstown. The vegetation there has only recently begun to grow back, after being destroyed years ago from the polution of the mines. It was like stepping back into time, this little town seemed so old fashioned. We decided to drive all the wa...

After we were given a replacement car, yet another Magna, we drove to St Columbas Falls. There we did a short walk to the waterfall and then unknown to us ended up on a 4 wheel drive dirt track for 40kms.

Well, that was the plan but after stopping at the Bay of Fires, the battery light on the dashboard of our car continued to shine and the next time i stopped the car was at Ansons Bay. Big mistake, as Paula told me not to switch the engine off, it was too late, i'd already done it. No way was that car going anywhere. Luckily for us a guy called Kevin was out with his s...

hi We were picked up at 10am after we managed to brave the showers in the Ocean Child, well i had to try and warm myself up somehow. Joy gave us a good deal, for a very old Magna, and what a banger of a car it was but if it gets us around for the week, fantastic! We decided to head for Port Arthur to begin with, which turned out to be a bit of a waste of time but we did pass some beautiful scenery. $22 to walk around some old ruins of a prison, for yet another t...
