Day 323 – 5^th January 2012

Tim’s Place, Hobart, TAS

We got up early to line up for the first ferry and avoid another waiting queue. On the way to Roberts Point we stopped to have another look at Big Hummock Lookout. Back on Tassie’s mainland we drove to the summit of Mt Wellington where we enjoyed great views over Hobart and beyond (and a freezing cold wind!). Next we drove into Hobart and decided to give the van a good clean (in and out), before going for a leisurely walk around the city. We walked from the harbour to Battery Point where we had a nice lunch at Jackman & McRoss. Late afternoon we drove to Moorilla to visit MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) where Wim Delvoye, a Belgian artist was one of the main exhibits. Afterwards we did some grocery shopping before catching up with Tim, a friend of Nele’s. Thanks Tim for the lovely dinner and great night!

Day 322 – 4^th January 2012

The Neck Campground, Bruny Island, TAS

It was pouring when we woke up so we turned around and snoozed a bit longer. Not long after some sun started to come through the clouds so we got up and drove to Cape Bruny on Labillardiere Peninsula where we first had breakfast before tackling the steep hill up to the lighthouse and strong winds that almost blew us over. Next we drove to Jetty Beach and went for a walk along the short Luggobine Circuit, offering great coastal views (4.7km circuit – 1h). We continued on to Cloudy Bay for lunch and a short walk to Whalebone Point Lookout. Next we took the Coolangatta “Mountain” Road to Adventure Bay with stops at 2 lookouts along the way. At Adventure Bay we walked to Grass Point and Fluted Cape offering views of Penguin Island and the coast (5.4km loop – 2h15). We returned to the Neck Campsite for the night.
