A pleasant drive from Hobart to Queenstown. After some lovely winding roads stopped to look down at the mining town and associated scarring.

A rather mixed place, in some ways unpleasant, others interesting. Town nothing particularly to recommend it, but the surroundings are interesting. On one side scars and degradation form mining and on the other lunch landscapes., –

After viewing the hole in the groun d took the walk to Horsetail Falls

. :

Now for a drive to the other side of Queenstown,

Queenstown has an interesting steam rail trip, unfortunately all booked up.

Next – Review of a short trip to Tasmania

• The goods, the bads, and the uglies of a short trip to Tazmania
  • Too short of course
  • Mona art gallery too weird for me, and too expensive
  • The Art Walk and many other walks were wanderful.
  • There are so many good walks to do
  • Many easy to access beaches
  • Queenstown area fascinating with the contrasts
  • Queenstown itself is a bit of a dump

After a tour of the Kimberley Region , we caught a plane diagonally across the continent to Melbourne, then an overnight ferry across the Bass Straight to Launceston. A drive of about 2 hour to Hobart, the capital.

Next a walk in the Art Park near Hobart

The good, the bad and the ugly of our tour with Adventure Wild

• Very well organised
• A little too tight in the truck
• Good home cooked style food
• Lots of food

• The good, the bad and the ugly of the Kimberley Region
  • Rather expensive, everything cost more than expected
  • So empty, no people, no wild animals, no farmed animals
  • Very very long distances between sights
