It’s been a while since I’ve published something on this blog. Quite a few things have been organized in the meantime. First of all, we’ve booked the ferry Spirit of Tasmania from Melbourne to Devonport. We’ll be leaving in the evening of 30th of December and arriving in Tasmania between 9 to 11 hours later.
From Devonport we’ll be heading West to Stanley, a small town on the north-west coast of Tasmania. We’ve recently got to know this place watching the motion picture “Light between the Oceans” which is partly filmed here. In Stanley we’ve booked two nights at the local caravan park. Stanley is famous for its fresh seafood, so I guess we’ll be spending New Year’s Eve at one of the local fish restaurants.
The most distinctive landmark in Stanley is The Nut, an old volcanic plug that rises 143 metres above the town. You can eather walk to the top via a steep track or take a chairlift…
From here we are going to drive anti-clockwise down the remote West Coast towards the Capital Hobart. How long we’ll be staying in Tassie we don’t know yet – we just bought a one-way ticket for the ferry 🙂
