Day 70

Helen, Jackie's friend, drove us to the airport. Before that we went for a morning walk at The Gorge which is her favourite place on Tasmania:)

Destination: Sydney

Arrival in my new apartment!

Celebrating with Danish salami and an Australia beer!

Day 69

In the morning we went trekking at Cradle Mountain on the Dove Lake Circuit.

Back at Jackie's for our last night. 

Jackie invited all three of us to pizza at Ros's place where we met a lot of local people. This was the perfect way to say goodbye to Tasmania, thank you everyone!

Day 68

Ocean Beach

Sandboarding at Hently Sand Dunes, lots of fun!

 

Cradle Mountains

We met a wild Wombat when we arrived in Patrimonio Mundial national park! It's another animal that I have never seen before. If you don't know it it's a plant-eating Australian marsupial that resembles a small bear with short legs

Regitse went to look for water and she succeeded!

Nina and Simon (their blue van is parked in the back) who we met in Binalong Bay joined us for a talk and a bush walk to look for animals at night!

Watch out for Echidna's! We saw an Echidna at Lake St. Claire when we went for a walk

Today we have a long 300 km's drive ahead of us through the mountains. Destination: Strahan on the west coast

This is my favourite photo from our trip to Tasmania. In our van we drove around 1500 km's 

Stop in Queenstown

A beach in Strahan where we camped illegal (though with permission from the local police officer - thanks!)

Day 66

 

This is the stairways leading into MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, that just opened a new exhibition called Monanism. The exhibition contains millionaire David Walsh's favourite works that "represent him and present him to the worlds for interest, outage or indifference". The museum is set into a peninsular at Berriedale on the Derwent Rive and build into sandstone which makes the experience even more interesting!

Void bar "Drink against a sandstone backdrop. Flirt with video art" Yes please! At the entrance they handed out an iPod - "We don’t have labels on the wall. We have The O. Use it to read about the art on display and to listen to interviews with the artists. It’s free." Cool! Video art in the ceilingBullet hole by Mat Collishaw, Cibachrome mounted on fifteen light boxes P XIII by Berlinde De Bruyckere, Cast and modelled wax, epoxy, metal, ropePlastikcity (Batiment 10) by Samuel Rousseau, Riveted plastic containers with video projection

In the evening we went to a cricket game in Bellerive Oval to see a semifinal between Tasmanian Tigers and New South Wales - NSW wins (soon to be my new home!)
