So long, adios, farewell...Tasmania

The Tasmanian summer season is now winding down & I am off to greener pastures (literally!).

The next six months will see me on a new adventure in the "top end". I will be based in Darwin & adventuring in the mighty Kakadu...looking forward to it!

Thanks to all the great individuals who helped make Tassie 2010 a great season; some of you I know I will see again in Europe or the Territory. This is the final post from Tassie with images from the final tour which by the way, was a "ripper".

For the next few weeks I will be enjoying a mega-roadtrip traversing the continent from Hobart to Darwin, so drop by for updates.

For now ciao-ciao friends.

*Thank goodness the guy who crashed the Ducati was not too seriously injured but alas, his beautiful bike needed some specialised attention.

Cradle Mountain...

It was a great day for climbing...magnificent views!

Australian Christmas..."on the road"

The Xmas Bus

Xmas Eve @ Cradle Mountain

Sorry its taken soooo long...I know I have been promising these for ages ! So, this post will be all about the images (some great ones too). I guess some of you, especially the Europeans will take home a different view of Christmas from now on....in Oz its about beaches & not snow! Christmas on "the road" is probably not the normal aussie Christmas but we did have some fun & hopefully you had a memorable experience. A BIG thankyou guys for helping to decorate the bus & for generally getting into the spirit ! Until the next one...

Three days off, to catch my breath...

I have spent a hectic last few weeks working during the Christmas & New Year period so decided it was time for a quick, well-earned "get-away" (holiday break) & a chance to relax & re-charge.

Michelle & I enjoyed a few days exploring some of our favorite spots on the Eastern side of Tassie & here are the pic's to prove it!

The weather was excellent; very warm in fact, we enjoyed some great fresh seafood & local wine on the coast & drove along some of the more obscure inland mountain roads....great fun.
