The last three days have seen us cover approximately 325 kilometres, with a bit of that entailing some ducking and weaving to take in a few special Tassie highlights. We could have come more directly from Rosevears to Ironhouse Point, but that would not have been quite as interesting. Here is a look at a […]
Cradle Mountain Lodge to Hawley House Today was just so much fun that – believe it or not 😉 – I am struggling to find words that adequately describe the outing. Basically, we all just had a superb day of FUN! Here’s a map showing the route we had ahead of us when we set out from […]
The title of this post wasn’t arrived at because all but one of us were in the “Seniors” category, but because of the landscape. More on that later. So, we are here at the top end of the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, and in the Southwest Tasmanian World Heritage Area. It’s […]
Internet access has been patchy over the past couple of days so it has not been possible to blog. Consequently we have a massive post today with three days of catching up to do.

Dianne and I decided to go for a ride to the top of kunanyi/Mt Wellington yesterday. Well, she decided; I just went along for the ride. 😉 It was a big call on her part: she felt a bit out of sorts with the ride to the Springs the day before, and that is just […]
Greetings from Cradle Mountain, in Tasmania’s Southwest World Heritage Area. It’s the 29th of December. Dianne and I have come here for a short visit to send off friends on the Overland Track and do a couple of day walks. This is an area dear to both our hearts and it’s great to be here […]
