Revisiting Tasmania...2022

Last time we were in Tasmania was in 2019 and when we came back from Tasmania (link to my earlier visit) it felt - wish we could spend some more time and see other parts of Tasmania that was left out!

So, this time we made sure that we tick all those places that we missed and re-visit Cradle mountain where we spend quality time exploring Cradle mountain. Off we goooo....
Day 1 : Landed in Hobart and went for a Long walk in Sandy Bay Area. You might witness the bioluminescence in the Sandy bay area waters...but unfortunately we did not!
Day 2 : Salamanca Market This market feels like a magical place where you transition from yummy local food to a shop filled with toys and books or you can find that favourite colour scarf!
Day 2 second half: The Mona Museum - Probably a whole day affair but we just gave it half a day!

Day3 : Ticked off  Port Arthur - Stay over in Bronte Park for the night The overnight journey from Hobart to Bronte park (Centre of Tasmania), though it turned out to be adventurous but in hindsight was a very bad decision - it has 90+ hair bends and single lane mountainous road and not a single soul around to help you if you needed one!
Day 4: Lake St.Clair, Nelson Falls, Queenstown to Strahan
A calm lake St.Claire
How old was this tree!


A Tasmania shaped Stone!



Day 5: Gordon River cruises - Such a serene river ride- where you could see the fisheries and a sneak peak into the revolt for an environmental cause!  Read: Movement marks 50 years of green politics, 40 years since the Franklin Dam campaign turning point - ABC News
Day 6: Wilderness Train ride
Day 7, 8 & 9: To Cradle Mountain - Yes that's how much we loved this place!
Night life at Cradle Mountain!
Wombats on a roll!
Day 10: To Launceston - on the way Cataract Gorge Chairlift - back to Sydney
They say it's the world's longest Chair lift!
I hope you liked this Picture-blog - It was intentional that I did not put too many words in this, because Tasmania is a place where you should go to see and feel the richness of nature...do not hurry through your visit else you will have to revisit!!
