Day 1-3 in Tasmania

The overnight flight to Melbourne was quite a torture. Got requested to change seats by an elderly looking lady and was sandwiched between her quite vertically challenged daughter and a pretty stoned looking middle aged man! The plane was connecting through from London you see...

By the time arrived in Hobart, Tasmania about 10am, I was mighty stoned out. Had BORAT to entertain me along the way while I endeavoured to sleep as much as possible. My bunk over at Central City Backpackers. It was AUD$22 a night for a dorm room for 8 people (the most budget)and overall, a decent place.

Check out the empty streets in the morning...

Day 1 was spent strolling around senselessly, going back to hostel to concuss for 4 hours, and having a drink with a new French Friend, Stephane who was surprise surprise...working in Australia while touring around! One of MANY whom came in and out of the dorm doing the same thing.

Day 2 was spend mainly in the library, reading books on my "Gap Year" and just chilling out. Temperatures were in the 13C region, quite chilly really and I booked my 3 days "extravaganza" Smash & Grab tour with Bottombits through the hostel.

Day 3, start of the tour to Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay (One of the top beaches in the world) and Kate Berry's farm

Some pics!

The famous Tasman Bridge - it was sliced into 2 sometime in 1976 when a huge ship collided into the bridge. 13 died and cars literally plunged down into the river sending the occupants to a watery grave...














The famous WineGlass Bay, not very glam with my head sticking in, I know..













Video Clip on the actual bay itself

It was actually a pretty tiring climb up to the peak to take a photo of WineGlass Bay from above, and an equally tiring trek down and up again from the beach itself! So..be prepared!
Some "crazy" hikers decided to do the same! with such huge packs! amazing!














Finally, the farm...some nice turkeys and shop front....
