Melbourne to Hobart

---

Whilst in Melbourne I caught up with others that o had met while traveling.

I landed in Hobart and have started the hard task of looking for work. In between filling in application forms I have had a few breaks. I have had plenty of time to do exciting things such as checking out the botanical gardens in Hobart.

Most recently I and some friends I have made in the hostel and I went for a spontaneous road trip. We headed out from Hobart to mole creek campsite.

After a night in the car we headed out to cradle mountain. When we arrived we discovered that it was snowing periodically. We decided to hike up to a view point over the ranges, then to hike back to the visitor centre. While walking down we came across a lot of wombats. One even came onto the walkway, sniffed our feet and then walked across a bridge. Then further along we came across a platypus in a stream flowing down next to the walk.
Once back at the visitor centre we had hiked 21km in total and then drove back to Hobart. It was a wonderful way to spend the day.

Fingers crossed that I will get a job and be able to stay in Tasmania ?
