E-bike E-venture
We had a day off from skiing. So, of course we didn’t just relax, we set off on an e-bike eventure.
Remarkables
Our first two days skiing at the Remarkables have been like chalk and cheese. Day one was rainy and miserable while day two was a brilliant blue bird day. It was a bit of an epic event to get going…
Travel day to Queenstown
It was an early start for our first international trip since the end of 2019. There was lots of excitement as we made our way through the process of international flights. Once at the airport we met up with more…
Walkabout Creek Hike
With such a beautiful winter’s day, we decided to head out for a hike. As it’s our first in a while we stayed pretty close to home. It was a beautiful winter day and perfect for a little hike. Out…
Back on the Rail Trail
This was a ride of two halves. The first half from Proston to Wondai was the now all too familiar hilly backroads. There was a mixture of bitumen and gravel roads and the hills were not as big as the…
Hills, hills and more hills!
This ride started with all smiles and ended in tears. We had a great send off with the locals waving us goodbye. But it wasn’t long before we had to call on them for help. Rossco’s battery died and he…
Epic is an understatement
Friday was huuuge. Just getting out of Eidsvold was a challenge. From issues with navigation and then I lost a bolt on my rack which required firstly some zip tie art but then we found a spare bolt. It felt…
Onto Eidsvold
On Thursday we left the Albert Hotel, and traveled 16km of backroads from Monto to the Mulgildie to look at the Bunyip. 24 km of bitumen and rolling hills saw us get to Abercorn for morning tea then an hour…
Boyne Burnett Rail Trail
Today was big, but enjoyable. The Boyne Burnett Rail Trail was very picturesque. There were some fun and challenging sections plus it also included 7 tunnels. The morning started out on the quiet road through to Builyan. This was a…
Highways and Headwinds
Our first riding day was a real slog. We basically just had to get out of Gladstone and out to Ubobo. This meant a lot of riding on main roads. Fortunately we met up with a local rider and he…
Gr8 Qld Cycling Adventure – Day 1
At the end of 2021 we started planning a trip from Gladstone to Brisbane after reading about someone who had ridden the opposite direction. The day has now arrived after what should have been plenty of time to prepare. Each…
Freycinet Cruise
Had a great day cruising from Coles Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula on Wineglass Bay Cruises. We were supposed to go around the peninsula and head to Wineglass Bay, however the seas were up due to a strong northerly. It…
Cradle Mountain
We stayed at Cradle Mountain Lodge for a night. The first afternoon was a little overcast but we still had a good view of the mountain and also went for a walk to some falls. The next morning was a…
Devils @ Cradle
We went to the night feeding at Devils@Cradle. Didn’t expect to see so many Tasmanian Devils. We also got to see Spotted Tail Quolls and Eastern Quolls. The feeding was quite gruesome. Those little things go crazy for a feed.
Gordon River Cruise
On an overcast, but otherwise fine day, we set off on the Gordon river Cruise from Strahan. It was a great day cruising out over Macquarie Harbour and heading out past the lighthouse on Entrance Island. We got off the…
Hobart – MONA
A visit to MONA is an interesting experience. It is still worth a look. We drove there, but have been told it’s nice to get there by boat. The grounds are a nice place to rest, eat, drink and listen…
Cascade Brewery
On our first day in Hobart we dropped in to the Cascade Brewery. Although cool, it was nice having drinks in the sun. Enjoying a few drinks at the brewery.
Hastings Point
Great weekend away with some wonderful friends. Sneaky weekend away for Mark and Lyn’s new camper with Dave and Veronica.
