We arrived back in Hobart late yesterday afternoon, tired but having thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days away. We had set off with the intention of driving up to the north of the Island to visit Cradle Mountain - probably the most visited tourist destination. The drive up through the centre of the island is a great mix of different countrysides. Starting with rolling hills outside Hobart, then climbing up to the central plateau where there are many lakes (great for tro...

sad to leave melbourne which we much enjoyed, and it was nice to be in one place for a few days. Good flight from melbourne to hobart, the highlight of which was as we were wandering through the airport who should appear from a door right infront of us but the one and only Shane Warne!

I hope we will be able to have a game when we arrive in Bangkok? Perhaps I could borrow your 5 iron and a stic...

well we have arrived in melbourne on monday the 15th. we have booked into some nice serviced appartments in St Kilda. To continue from the last blog in Mount Gambier. And for hector's information we played 18 holes and despite using some some very average clubs and off the back tees, 32 points were harvested! with any luck with the putter it could have been 40 points! twas ever thus. We decided to have 18 holes in the morning although the weather forecast w...
