Straume

Date:

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:30h

To get some fresh air, we decided to "explore" the area near the bridge at Straume a little. There we walked along Sælevatnet; back then along Knappatjørna. Not much to write about such a simple walk. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

To celebrate a nice, round birthday, we gathered for a larger family meeting at Peilstein.

Visiting Montezuma Falls in the jungle

Date:
03.11.2023
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
9.5km

After our very nice hike up to Cradle Mountain on the day before, we headed further towards the west of Tasmania, driving (mostly) in southwestern direction. After first driving through large Eucalyptus forests, we then arrived in an impressive rain forest / jungle. Our main plan for the day, besides driving towards the west coast of Tasmania, was to do a hike into the jungle at Montezuma Falls. Leaving the main highway A10 near Rosebery, we used a minor road to get to the starting point of the Trail (where we also found a good spot to park). The trail to Montezuma Falls comes with an interesting bit of history, actually. It follows the route of an early-day railway that pioneers had built into the jungle to help with some mining activity in this area. Even though the topography of this area is definitely challenging (up >>>

Mersey Bluff in Devonport

Date:
01.11.2023
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
1.5km

Devonport had already welcomed us nicely and we decided to give it one more chance to shine! :-) Instead of heading out of town immediately, we first drove to the north of Devonport, where we thought to see the Mersey Bluff Lighthouse. Mersey Bluff and the beach right next to it did not disappoint us -- in fact, this area is really nice and clearly worth a short visit! :-) You can even shower yourself after swimming in the Bass Strait next to Mersey Bluff! Really nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Downtown Devonport

Date:
01.11.2023
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
2.3km

After the whole night at the ferry from Geelong to Devonport, we wished to first get some fresh air (before driving on). We thus changed from East Devonport to West Devonport and made a nice stroll through down town Devonport, also enjoying a nice coffee for a breakfast! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Organ Pipes National Park

Date:
31.10.2023
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.7km

After stopping at the airport of Melbourne and before driving to Geelong in order to catch the ferry to Tasmania, we included a brief visit to the Organ Pipes National Park in the northwest of Melbourne. We found the presented information a little minimal in the sense that it did not become clear up-front that there are multiple place along Jacksons Creek that are worth seeing: Tessellated Pavement, Rosette Rock, and Organ Pipes. Luckily, we were curious enough to walk by them nonetheless! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Prom Wildlife Walk

Date:
28.10.2023
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
2.8km

After first walking out to the Dunes of the Big Drift, we did our next stop to walk along the Prom Wildlife Walk (in Wilsons Promonotory) to see some wildlife of the park. While we "only" got to see one Wallaby, we got close to quite a few Emus, which clearly was an impressive and nice experience! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Exploring the Botanic Gardens of Melbourne

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:

Distance:

We had a bit of time to explore Melbourne. Starting at the Southbank, we first walked along the Yarra river to get to the Royal Botanic Gardens. After making a nice round through the park, we returned back (just in time before dinner). Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
