From the ferry terminal in Devonport it took about an hour to Launceston. The sun was going up just in front of me as I was going West and it was sometimes impossible to see anything and I had to shield my eyes with my left hand. A had a quick stop at the recruitment…
Tasmania, here I come
Now I can’t go further on the bike and need to take a ferry to reach next destination, Hobart. I managed to get my suit cases shipped from Melbourne direct to Hobart. Thanks Phil. After ten and a half hour the ferry arrived early inthe morning. I shared a cabin with Jason, who would go…
The Pink Lake
Only minutes from where we used to live in Melbourne is a salt lake that sometimes turns pink due to algaes. It is hard to beleive until you see it for your self.
Wedding in the Swedish Church in Melbourne

The ride started around 11 today and at 12.45 I entered Victoria. You see a huge change in road conditions. The roads in Victoria are in much better maintained. Before I left Merimbula I visited the food festival next to my hostel I stayed in. 27 different stands wher you could try food, beer and…
Oysters and beaches
The trip from Sussex Inlet started with rain. Not too bad as it may sound. It lasted for 5 minutes and before you know it you are dry again. The ride offered some really nice roads especially after Tilba on the tourist drive. Before that I visited Pretty beach where you can see kangaroos on…
