Day 35: 7/10/12 I'd only about three hours sleep at the most I'd say last night. There were girls talking in the room for a while about 'the water diet'- rivoting conversatiob! When I was asleep I woke to the sound of a horn beeping and I thought I'd missed the taxi so I woke up of a shot! It was only 2:40 though so it wasn't for me! I had to get up at half three anyway as the taxi was due to come at 4. I was downstairs on time but the taxi was a no-show. There'...

Day 34: 6/10/12 Day 6 TasmaniaThe first stop today was Bicheno Blowhole. There were lots of rocks near the water an when the waves came in they went up through some of the rocks and water blew up through a hole- it looked cool! In the distance there were rocks in the bay and you could see a sea-lion on top of it.We had only a short drive then to Freycinet national park which had lots of rocks and scenery. There were mountains there called the hazard mts after som...

Day 33: 5/10/12 Day 5 Tasmania THe hostel last night wasn't great. I was on the top bunk which I hate anyway. I definitely woke the girl under me when I had to go to the toilet at 3am! Toilets werent great either. But it was only for one night! We were off bright and early at 7.30am. We had some new people joining the group. There were five Chinese- I don't know much about them! They have English I think but talk to each other mostly. There was also an English ...

Day 32: 4/10/12 Day 4 Tasmania This morning we had to leave at 7 so we were up bright and early! It says on the tour information that breakfast is included which means the driver has two big boxes of cereal, bread, jam, etc going round in the van with him! We passed through Zeehan which the guide said was arguably the ugliest town In Australia. It's an old mining town, by not many jobs in it now. In the early 1900s there were 10,000 people here. Now there's onl...

Day 31: 3/10/12 Day 3 Tasmania I forgot to say yesterday that the hostel is like a camp site. The room is grand. But you have to go outside for the toilets. There are only three female toilets and showers. I was up in plenty of time to make sure I got one of them! Thankfully I didn't need to go to the toilet in the middle of the night- that would have been fun! This morning there was an optional cruise that I picked to do. If you didn't do it I think the driver...
