Eagle on wall at The Wall

March 18th 2014
A driving adventure unfolded today as we headed north west from Hobart, aiming to reach Strahan over 2 days. Not many kilometres I hear you say, and as a bird would fly, a relatively short trip. The roads are great too, so, why so slow? Well, there are lots of things to look at along the way, and the roads are the opposite of the Nullarbor run. On the Nullarbor we kind of counted the few cor ... read more

Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name... ... read more

Marg and Rob purchased a Horizon Wattle (Mercedes Sprinter) motorhome built by Ballina Campers and planned to circumnavigate Australia over the following couple of years, collecting it just after Rob retired in May 2011. The couple of years grew out to over 4 years during which time we travelled from Brisbane to Perth return accross the Nullarbor both ways in 2011; in 2012 we travelled various places on the East Coast of Australia. The highlight of the year was our October November trip to Port Douglas which included the total eclipse of the sun. 2013 saw us do a 'Lap' or 'Trip around the blo... full info

THE WALL
Great to see you went to The Wall and advertise its wonder. Having been involved in exhibition woodcarving for a number of years and seeing the extraordinary skill of numerous woodcarving artisans, I can vouch that The Wall is World Class...breathtaking...little wonder it has the air of a sacred place when viewing. The enormity of the exhibition and the skill of the carver is a must to behold when visiting Tasmania. And its a self funded project...staggering. Those carved coats and hats on the hat stands...probably the most beautiful things I've seen in my life!

The Wall
The Wall is a great place no doubt. I have wondered if Travel Blog could provide some sort of accreditation to moderators so that we could approach such artisans with the purpose of writing single item photo blogs to promote interest in seeing the work. Has this ever been discussed? Too late for me and the wall, but could be a very useful thing for TB as well as free promotion for the focus. There are heaps of opportunity. I am parked under The Nut. Here there is a Seal Tour that is a winner. It would be good to do an article just on that. Rob
