Balingup was our first stop, a small village 2hrs South of Perth. We had a wonderful cottage, Brookvale House, with a great garden and orchard and absolut quiet. Well, except for the birds. 😀 We went to the Golden Valley Arboretum to stretch our legs a little after so much sitting on our fat arses,…

I’ve fallen behind, I admit that. It’s partly my lazyness but also due to the fact that the coverage is extremely patchy and it is hard to find a spot where you can actually upload some photos. We began our jouney with some ice cream in Milano, because they have first class ice cream at…

It’s that time of the year again. Time to leave dreary old racist Germany and fly to sunny young racist Australia. 🙂Off to Perth today, via a routing that is truly crazy, but also truly cheap for a *A C flight from here all the way to Oz. Nothing beats lie flat. SXF-MXP-MUC-SIN-PER-SIN-ZRH-MXP-TXL. Take that!…

The last four days of our trip offered quite a lot of variety. Mt Field was pretty, although the weather prevented us from hiking the alpine trails, but the waterfalls and forest further down was a good alternative. Also, quite to our surprise, the food at the National Park Hotel was decent. It was pub…

We got lucky with the weather, again. After a nice leg stretcher halfway round the lake we took advantage of the brilliant weather and did the Mt Rufus Circuit the next day. What can I say, best hike of this trip! Not particularly exhausting, but wonderful views to all sides and great stretches of wildflowers…

Corinna is in the middle of nowhere, in the heart of the Tarkine, an area full of beautiful temperate rainforest, rivers, and wild wild coastline. Corinna used to be a logging town, and has now been converted into a low key eco wilderness thing. We had a fantastic cabin, superclean, superspacious, with windows right on…

One thing I found rather disappointing was the food in Tassie. All the advertisements and the big words, but at the end of the day you get chips and wedges as a vegetarian. Seafood is usually top notch everywhere, meat already more problematic because a lot of the chefs apparently lack the skills to prepare…

I’ve shed some light on gay living in Oz in my posts from our QLD and NT trip in 2015 already. But here in Tassie they’re taking it to a whole new level. And I’m glad to see that the society has evolved and progressed so far! The latest thing in the Tassie gay community…

Corinna „ferry“ ☺, flowers, lake, and more flowers the latter three all at Lake St Clair National Park

In order: Russell falls in Mt Field National Park, the bestest cream tea in Tassie, wildflowers on Mt Rufus, Australian ice cream, I wonder whether there’s Gaytime Barramundi flavor?
