For the second time in my travels, I am travelling in the opposite direction. Back at the beginning of this trip, I explored Queensland and New South Wales on my east coast adventures in Australia. I also ended up travelling in the opposite direction. Most people started their trip in Sydney or Melbourne and went to Cairns to finish. But, of course, I had no idea and did that trajectory the other way around.
This time, two years later, I started my Tasmania trip in Hobart and went down to Bruny Island. On Bruny, I spent the last three nights camping and hiking around the island. In addition, I only had a little transportation apart from hitchhiking and still got everywhere I wanted to go!
It was a fantastic experience, and I was so happy to make it to the Cape Bruny Lighthouse. Besides, I even spent a night at the neck and completed all the South Bruny National Park walks. Such an accomplishment and a terrific trip. I’ll be making a little Bruny Island after-movie later and might even write a list of the ten best things to do on Bruny Island.
Travelling in the opposite direction
So, back to travelling in the opposite direction. My original plan was to go back to Hobart and use that as a home base for all my side trips. But, as usual, my plans turned out differently. I was hitchhiking back to Bruny Harbour, and I ran into a lovely person driving up the east coast of Tasmania. She offered me a ride to Freycinet National Park, way further than Hobart but also high on my to-do list.
After four days of camping, I need a shower! Once again, I threw all my previous travel plans overboard and went with the flow. The flow brought me to Coles Bay at the edge of the famous Wine-Glass Bay! What happens from here will be for the next post!
