I came back from this trip on a real high - who wouldn't after four days with perfect weather, stunning scenery and fabulous company? However I have to say it didn't start this way.

Smart not to tell the guides your ailments unless you had to. What a lovely view for lunch. All the foods you ate sound perfect. We love Tasmania and wish we had spent more time there. We all know it can takes weeks to teach the rules of Cricket!

Cricket!
It was fun teaching cricket....the rules are quite ridiculous, and we didn't even get on to the fielding positions, eg "silly mid-on"!

Glamping!
As an ex-backpacker, I must say this sounds infinitely more attractive! Facials and wine tasting, set-up cabanas and 3-course meals sound so much better than ramen noodles and carrying a tent. What a fantastic experience and a life-style to aspire to. You work full time--you deserved this!

Bay of Fires
This walk looks truly amazing - although the tiger snake was probably a bit close for comfit - you didn't make any mention of it except for the photo. Tasmania is certainly worth while a visit

The secret
Oz's best kept secret...Tasmania...stunning one day...and everyday. Mt William NP to Bay of Fires...those that have been there agree with your superlatives. Another RJT winning sojourn.

You were lucky to have so long down there...I'm looking forward to reading your blogs and seeing the photos. It's a truly magic spot.

Just beautiful
So glad your leg held up for the four days. The walk and post-walk pampering sounds amazing, I think you've 'convinced' me to do it :)

Wow is right!
I lived in Tassie for seven years, yet didn't make it to Mt William NP. Clearly I need to go back sometime.... great photos, and nice touches of humour.

Apparently it's the least visited national park in Tasmania....so not a lot of tourists. But spectacular, so definitely worth the visit!
