Corinna

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…

Some ruminations on Tassie cuisine

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…

Menschliche Abgründe

I just found out, after all these years, that the Reisebegleitung favors Sylvester, not Tweety. What the fuck? The bloody cat? Das ist ein charakterlichischer Abgrund. Ich weiß noch nicht, wie ich damit umgehen werde. Und was Kylie dazu sagt?

Gay Australia

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…

Cradle Mountain

The weather still held the next day, so we decided to head for Cradle Mountain Peak, taking the Overland Track route from Ronny Creek, via Marion’s Lookout, and then circled back via Face Track, Lake Wilks Track, and Dove Lake track. Not a cloud in the sky, brilliant weather, and no wind either. This is…

Mole Creek

On our way south we passed thru Sheffield and discovered another little gem, a Fruit and Veges shop tucked away in a side alley next to the gas station, kinda opposite the tourist information and the IGA. This shop has great produce and does real fruit ice cream, what more could you wish for? ☺…

Bundesliga

It’s telling how I keep losing interest in football over the years. I guess I’m also not the target audience any more, which seems to be middle class families willing to spend thousands of euros each year. To keep the coffers of the greedy bastards filled. I’m also unwilling to give up my personal freedom…

Port Sorell

We decided to take a little detour on purpose and take the southern route because that provided an excuse to stop by the beloved Eureka Farm again. Soooo delicious, again and again. I’m still heartbroken that I probably won’t be going there ever again. 😔 We also made another pitstop at St Mary’s and then…
