Hobart

Image
Last stop Hobart ~ It is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania ~ Hobart is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney, New South Wales ~ We are going to spend 5 nights here! This is my first time staying in this "use to be shopping mall turn motel" You never know we may be staying in an "LV" shop =p The disadvantage is there is no windows except the "big shopping window" which kind of looks into our privacy ~ . As we came at the wrong season which the lavenders are still a little sprout ~ We managed to had a bite at the lavender cafe! Driving on, we went to Devil's Kitchen, Tasman Arch which was kind of boring as we really cant see much stuff from the top ! At the southern end of Pirates Bays are some very interesting coastal features. The Devil's Kitchen is an unusual rock formation carved by the sea through the sheer rock face of the eastern coast of t...

Swansea

Our next destination is SwanSea ~ i love the sound of the breeze in my ear ~ facing the ocean, with a new breeze blowing with a world refreshed by freedom Its a happy day because there are flower petals in the breeze look like a butterfly flapping its wings =)   We plan the itineary well as we though there was no fantastic food in Swansea and we though there was no cooking utensils for a cabin but it turn our to be a real surprise! So in the end, we need to clear our food and here you go ~   ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Have been waiting for Oyster feast for breakfast ~ but oh well, again was disappointed with it ~ not as fresh as we expected it or have our standard rise? Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay!

I love the trek up, and the w...

Cradle Mountain / Cataract Gorge

Image
I have always been looking forward to trek Cradle Mountain~ Hence i was quite disappointed when we arrive super late at the trekking site and couldnt really trek but took a bus and went straight to Dove Lake ! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Next day, we went to Caratact Gorge which is just beside our apartment! It is a walking / hiking trails and with the World's longest single span chairlift ~ The chairlift covers some 457 metres, with terminal buildings at the First Basin (West Launceston) end and idling station at the Cliff Grounds side (Trevallyn). The central span of 308m is believed to be the longest single chairlift span in the world. I do have a fear for heights but lucky for the slow speed of the chairlift, enables me to appreciate and photograph the views! Follow on we had our lunch at Raspberry Farm! The raspberry farm serve delicious raspberry products such as chocolate dipped raspberries, or rich creamy raspber...

Tasmania! Launceston!

Image
We decide to clockwise direction down to hobart! Hence, first stop - LAUNCESTON! As it was still early, we decide to pop by House of Anvers for our breakfast and hot chocolate!!! They serve the best chocolates drinks and chocolates waffles! We couldnt resist not getting chocolates from there!   I must say,i really love the apartment that we stay in Launceston! I love the exterior of how it was all made of bricks ~ Although its a bit hassel to walk up and down the stairs but i love the living room!   Decided to have a relax day and all thanks to our Master Chef Joey for the delicious soup we have been craving for which last us for 2 days!

Melbourne

Image
A last min planning with 2 accompanies make this trip awesome! Tasmania has always been a place i want to go ever since i've been to down under ~ Because I'm wondering what does Tassie has to offer ~ Spring in Tasmania, a season of transition with the sea breeze coming into the coast, its cooling! Decided to go ahead with the ferry overnight from Mel as i want a slow pace trip rather than one which rush here and there! I love Melbourne a lot hence decide to stay there for a night and explore the vibrant, colourful Brighton Beach! I'm a lover of Sun! Yet I'm dress wrongly for the beach! If i can, definitely will bring my bikini along =)

A country lying in South sea ~ A slow pace streaming through the down under ~ A mind of refresh ~ A happy person who enjoy the scenery on a detour ~ A place where there is no pressure ~ A place with no party ~ An island that is so kind ~ Tasmania!
