Whale Sculpture

5 - 6 January 2011 The town of Cygnet proved to be a buzzing little hub used by fruit pickers, grey nomads and other travellers alike as a central spot to base themselves while exploring surrounding areas. There is much to see and do around Cygnet and we found the town to be a cute quaint one full of interesting characters. We spent a day trekking as far south in Tasmania as the road takes you. Location: Cockle Creek, accessible by a long stretch of dirt road. The further south you go, the more beautiful it becomes. Over gorgeous rivers, through lush bush and then the land opens up to Cockle Creek which is on the south side of Recherche Bay. We had a perfect hot sunny day and took a short walk to the Whale ... read more

Third Time Lucky!

Bruny ferry

JayesJaunts

7th March 2008 Woke up to another lovely morning at Auchmithie and wished we could stay longer but not only were other guests arriving but the open road was calling and we needed to head back to Hobart. After cleaning up and saying goodbye to Quentin, through the wall, we set off to catch the ferry, carefully as we were running short of petrol. While we were waiting for the ferry Bob insisted I started the diary as we were getting behind and it gets so difficult to remember where we were, let alone what we were doing, after a few days. After filling up with fuel we turned left at Kettering so that we could drive up the Huon River road as it is very picturesque. We were heading for Ranelagh and Keith and Beth ... read more

Brief history of Australia
