Nathan & Joanna's Australian Adventures

05.02 Tas: Snug Beach

We stayed at the Snug Beach Cabin and Caravan Park, which was situated next to the beach! The camp kicthen here was very basic, it didn't have a stove or oven but two electric barbeques, which you had to pay for!! Anyway, it was the perfect spot to head into Hobart.

02.02 Tas: Bicheno

From the Bay of Fires we headed further south to Bicheno, where we would be camping for the night.

One of the many sightings of native wildlife! We saw about three Echidna's just on this day alone! However, there is an awful lot of roadkill, so much more than on our massive journey from Melbourne to Adelaide & Sydney and back again!

Bicheno is a really nice little town with a small harbour.

Relaxing down after a long day's drive, enjoying a nice cup of tea from the thermos!! Our tent pitch for the night was at Bicheno East Coast Caravan Park, which was very conveniently placed for the town and the beach! The camp kitchen was a converted garage and contained everything that we needed!

02.02 Tas: Launceston - Cataract Gorge

The start of a full on day travelling around the northeast side of Tasmania.

After leaving the ferry the night before we headed to a campsite in Deloraine. It was our first night sleeping in the Magna! We stayed at the Deloraine Apex Caravan Park - a very basic site, situated next to a nice little river and also a railway line that has freight trains running down it in the middle of the night!!

After breakfast in Launceston we went to Cataract Gorge, which is a short walk/drive from the city centre. They have the longest single span chairlift, and some nice walks around the First Basin.

07.12 Grampians: Halls Gap Lakeside Caravan Park

In a desperate bid to catch, we have managed to compile the following posts for our weekend trip to the Grampians! I think that this will bring our blogs for 2007 to a close, and hopefully allow us to get back on track with 2008!!

After a couple of hours driving we arrived at Halls Gap, which is pretty much in the centre of the Grampians. We stayed in a campsite called Halls Gap Lakeside Caravan Park, which was situated just outside the town next to the local dam!
