Hi, Elton Walker here with my attempt at a new (and my first) blog called Walkerbouttravel. I live in the Gold Coast hinterland near Tamborine Mountain with my wife Colleen. We’re both retired and enjoy travelling around Australia in our caravan as well as flying to other countries when we can.
This blog will document our travels both within Australia and overseas. Photos will accompany the text to give more meaning and perspective to our travels.
Tasmania December 2019
Our most recent trip was to Tasmania in December 2019. This was a fly into and out of Hobart arrangement with 10 days car hire to explore mainly the east coast and Midlands from Port Arthur in the south to the Bay of Fires in the north. About 1,400 kilometers total in the hire car.
Several reasons for this, our third trip in 22 years to the Apple Isle;
- To chase up more information on Colleens great great grandfather who was a convict in and around Hobart from 1838-1845, 2. To see parts of Tassie we hadn’t explored in previous trips and, 3. To see the yachts come into Constitution Dock on completion of the Sydney to Hobart Race.
