I drove the Triumph down to Hobart from Brisbane last week - 2,400km exclusive of the ferry trip across the Bass Strait. I had a great time. The drive from Brisbane to Melbourne was fairly boring - long straight roads with little traffic apart from Road Trains. the ferry was much like a large x-channel ferry in the UK.
Once in Tassie it was all change, though. Lots of twisting roads, and beautiful scenery. I took the long route down the east coast and camped for a couple of nights on picturesque beaches. Superb fun. I was welcomed by the local wallabies as you can see!
Ella arrived on Saturday night by plane. We're staying in an apartment courtesy of my new employees this week and will move into rented accomodation, all going well, on Saturday.
Hobart is very nice, we've found the people in general to be very friendly. Work is fun so far - i've got loads to do, but it's relaxed enough for me to be able to update my blog at lunchtime :-)
The weather has been a bit changeable ... nothing too unusual for a Pom of course but I think Ella's a bit confused by it.
It's been a bit of a whirlwind so far, but no doubt it will settle down and I'll be back to update soon!
