Adventure Bay to Hobart -last days (79k/1,109m)

January 16, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 20 Comments

(January 15-16, 2021 - written by Dave) Yesterday we didn’t scale the highest peak on Bruny Island. In fact we didn’t get up to much at all. We walked to the Adventure Bay store (town), did some computer work and walked home. On the walk home we met one of our host’s neighbours, who was … Continue reading Adventure Bay to Hobart -last days (79k/1,109m)

Adventure Bay adventures

January 13, 2021January 13, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 8 Comments

(January 13-14, 2021 - written by Dave) Day one at Adventure Bay didn’t go exactly to plan. We thought we’d walk down to the “town” of Adventure Bay and have a relaxed look around. We ended up walking what seemed like miles and didn’t make it home until after 4PM. Ok, we DID walk miles, … Continue reading Adventure Bay adventures

Allens Rivulet to Adventure Bay – Island life (65k/860m)

January 12, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 1 Comment

(January 12, 2021 - written by Dave) Good news, we weren’t overly dusty this morning, even with our late evening with Phil, Jan and all of our other friends last night. Admittedly, we slept in a little this morning but overall, we felt great and ready for our eighth day of riding in a row. … Continue reading Allens Rivulet to Adventure Bay – Island life (65k/860m)

New Norfolk to Allens Rivulet- Croquet Day (65k/860m)

January 12, 2021January 12, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 6 Comments

(January 11, 2021 - written by Dave) It was super quiet overnight in the fabulous Oast Inn. We didn’t see anyone in the kitchen for dinner or brekkie. In fact, we barely saw anyone the entire time we were there – except the pickers of course. We got off at 7:30 in an effort to … Continue reading New Norfolk to Allens Rivulet- Croquet Day (65k/860m)

Wayatinah to New Norfolk- hot and dry (84k/902m)

January 10, 2021January 10, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 10 Comments

(January 10, 2021 - written by Dave) Hard to imagine that a week ago we were cold and wet out on the northwestern coast of Tassie. Today it was hot and steamy as we crossed out of the Central Highlands and down into the River Derwent Valley. The scenery changed as well. Early on we … Continue reading Wayatinah to New Norfolk- hot and dry (84k/902m)

Lake St Clair to Wayatinah – A full day (66k/560m)

January 9, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 4 Comments

(January 9, 2021 - written by Dave) What an interesting day we had today. It started early with Nancy spotting the perfect silhouette of a possum on the wall of the tent at about 4:30 this morning. It took minute for her to figure out what she was seeing but soon, we were both at … Continue reading Lake St Clair to Wayatinah – A full day (66k/560m)

Lake Burbury to Lake St Clair – Crossing the divide (76k/1160m)

January 8, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 4 Comments

(January 8, 2021 - written by Dave) We had a quiet night at Lake Burbury. We guessed on tent positioning yesterday, trying to insure a morning sun first thing today. We got it pretty close and had sun on the tent around 6:15. Only problem was that it only lasted for about 45 minutes then … Continue reading Lake Burbury to Lake St Clair – Crossing the divide (76k/1160m)

Strahan to Lake Burbury – Mining day (66k/1060m)

January 7, 2021May 22, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 6 Comments

(January 7, 2021 - written by Dave) Camp was surprisingly quiet overnight. I guess the kiddos wore themselves out at the playground. Our little tent was surrounded by big tents and lots of families. We went to bed at 8:30 and it the playground was still in full swing, but by 9PM everything got quiet … Continue reading Strahan to Lake Burbury – Mining day (66k/1060m)

Zeehan to Strahan – Lobster day (54k/360m)

January 6, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 6 Comments

(January 6, 2021 - written by Dave) We had a super easy day riding today – it was too long to call it a rest day but you could almost call it a rest day. After I typed that, I looked at yesterday’s blog and it was actually shorter – but there was less than … Continue reading Zeehan to Strahan – Lobster day (54k/360m)

Corinna to Zeehan – Chore day (52k/846m)

January 5, 2021 / Dave & Nancy / 4 Comments

(January 5, 2021 - written by Dave) There was no rain overnight at the Corinna wilderness lodge camping but still this morning everything seemed a tad damp. Being right on the river, in the narrow rainforest strip was nice, but it probably never really dries out. We got things hanging while we ate brekkie but … Continue reading Corinna to Zeehan – Chore day (52k/846m)
