Time out to attend a wedding in Bali

We were very honoured to attend our niece’s wedding at the Legion Hotel in Bali. It was set in the garden overlooking the horizon pool and sea while watching the sun setting during drinks after the wedding ceremony.

End of the Tasmanian Tour

That concludes our tour of Tasmania. During the three months that we spent in Tasmania, we travelled over 8,000 kilometres. We explored many places that I had never been to in the past. While we experienced some cold and wet weather in May and early June, overall it was a very enjoyable experience seeing new places and catching up with family.
Our plan from this point is to make our way up to Cape York, which is the most norther port of Queensland.

Ross & Richmond Bridges

While travelling back up north to Devonport, we passed through the historic town of Richmond for morning tea then onto Ross for an overnight stay at the caravan park. Both towns had many old historic convict buildings to see and many antique shops explore.

Tahune Forest Reserve

After completing the airwalk, it was time to get back to 'terra firma' and take a stroll through the forest. There were a variety walks to do (we did them all) that past by old Huon Pines which were located on the river banks and many enormous Stringy Bark gum trees. The walks also crossed over the Picton and Huon Rivers via swinging bridges that were suspended from the river banks. This part of the walk did not appeal to Rani at all.

Tahune AirWalk, Tahune Forest Reserve

The Tahune AirWalk is located near Geeveston (south of Hobart). It is an exhilarating nature base walk that is situated in the heart of the Tahune Forest Reserve. The airwalk is around 20 metres above the ground and winds its way through the tree tops to its final point where there is a cantilever that us suspended 48 metres above the ground, which provides stunning views of the Picton and Huon Rivers and surrounding forest.

The End of the Road, Cockle Creek, Southern Tas

Cockle Creek, with it's population of three, is as far south as it is possible to drive in Australia. There is not a lot to do in Cockle Creek other than a few nice walks.
