Tasman Peninsula

Hobart feels like it is twenty years behind. This would certainly explain the selection at the car rental agency. We putter off.

The Richmond Bridge is the oldest bridge in Australia that is still in use, albeit almost exclusively by ducks.

Port Arthur has a notorious history, as one can read here. You can wander the remains of the settlement grounds or take a ghost tour. Unfortunately, the weather peaks at mixed and is downright uncooperative at key decision-making moments. For extended periods, however, the weather is suitable for making and eating pancakes.

Remarkable Cave lives up its billing, funnelling waves onto unsuspecting visitors. The other attractions on the Tasman peninsula pale in comparison, bottoming out with the Tesselated Pavement which is about as interesting as regular pavement.

The road to Triabunna is unpaved and the journey conclusively proves that I worry too much.

Hey Steve, you need to relax more when you are travelling !! Tassie is a great place and the Tasman Peninsula especially. I should know as I have lived here for 25 years on the Peninsula and know that it ranks as one of the best environments in Australia if not the planet. Check out my blog at www.dunwatcafe.bigblog.com.au and drop in for a coffee next time...it will help your day !!
