... around the lake in 1.5 hours only stopping to take photos and water...we were passing blue hairs like it was going out of style. The scenery was great and we took a lot a photos. Afterwards, we had supper at the chalet and enjoyed a few glasses of wine. We were told that there was a local Platapus 'Tracy' living in the pond nearby so we decided to take a walk around to see if we could find her. We walked up and down the pond and ajoining river for about a hour but ...

Its hard to describe a holiday that is damn near perfect but I'll try. It all started in a cosy corner of the Blue Lobster restaurant: "Why do you want to go there? I was bored to death in Tasmania", quipped one of my ex colleagues. But after a short pause, she added, "But then again...I think you'll like it there". Coming from someone who spends most of her holidays stalking boy bands (please pardon her second childhood) and spiking country GDPs with her shopping sprees, it was a good ...

... about how bad it was that we had to watch it on the small screen, but I actually didn't think anything of it at the time; I was just glad we got to see it at all, and stuff happens - I'm not sure why people expect life to be perfect on a cruise ship when it isn't perfect at any other time. I think that this must be one of the worst movies I have ever seen - singing was good, but not much else, very twee plot. Alan disappeared half way through.

Day 1 &amp; 2 - Hobart to Lake St Clair by Campervan! After a luxurious 3 weeks in Manly we were in for a reality check with our next trip, a week's campervanning around Tasmania. Leaving the huge king size bed, the satellite TV and a well stocked alcohol cupboard was going to be potentially traumatic. In addition Nik and I are engaged so this could be a real test of our relationship!! Catching a plane for the intrepid duo is ...

... gaol and Catholic Church in Australia)...exceedingly touristy and looked as though it lacked any life after 5.30. It was still windy and whilst we were looking around the church, a massive branch broke off narrowingly missing myself and the stained glass window......was it a sign? Ooh...did I nearly forget Val beat me at crazy golf...well what can you do with a rubber putter?....answers on a postcard please. Next day we took off to Port Arthur (old ...

... making an agreement to come back one day and do the 7-day hike through Cradle mountain and Lake St-Clair National Park...watch this space. In Hobart we visited the Cadbury factory - free samples ladies! It was cool and the smell of that place is fattening, I swear, it is so good. As I dragged Mitch around that, it was only fair that i get dragged around the Cascade Brewery, Australias oldest brewery and enjoy the free beer samples ...

... Park, where we visited the Russell Falls and Lady Barron Falls and had a fantastic walk among the magnificent tall trees (Tall Tree Walk). We also made our way to beautiful blue Lake St Clair on our way to the historic mining town of Tullah. We camped near the Tullah river that night. The views are totally fantastic. Bruce was a great tour guide explaining the different animals found in Australia and Tasmania and what makes these places unique in a way and very ...

... Otherwise we would have seen them, as there were only about 12 people, including us, on the morning ferry). They were first finishing up the last of their bottle of wine?!? And then heading back down. We ate our lunch, took some photos, and were then on our way. Except for the tricky bit at the top, the way down was fairly easy. Saw lots and lots of lizards over the rocks, but no more wallabies (think we were walking too quickly on the way down). We made it back to ...
