But honestly, there weren't that many sheep, just along the way to the attractions.. PLUS the sheep was definitely not the highlight of our trip..
So I am SATISFIED. I won't bore you with the details as how I did previously with the Queensland backpacking trip.. just heaps of pictures and some description if you'll let me =))
Basically the trip was a short one, which included walking around Hobart city aimlessly.. snapping heaps of pictures at the Constitutional Dock where we also had our very yummy seafood dinner(s), a trip to Port Arthur (which I won't recommend if anyone don't fancy history), a trip up Mt. Wellington (gorgeous view of Hobart city + freezing weather), a trip to Coles Bay (where the breath-taking Wineglass Bay was, no wonder its one of the top beaches in the world!!!). We had to hike 30minutes in the rain to the top of the mountain to catch this view.. it was WORTH every sweat ;-)
By the way, we stayed at a very nice backpackers. If anyone is going to Hobart, I would totally recommend Central City Backpackers! Choose 3rd floor if you can =)
Speaking of which, the day we were leaving, just after we packed our bags.. and before I get to utter "I smell burnt toast".. the fire alarm went off! We had to evacuate the building and dragged all our belongings along. A fire engine arrived shortly to check out the cause, which I am sure the toast was the culprit.. Anywho.. we looked ridiculous standing by the road with our bags.. people were staring at us with the "how-on-earth-did-they-manage-to-save-everything-so-quickly" look. Some of the backpackers must have been awoken by the alarm coz they were wrapped in their comforter.
So that was my backpacking trip! Now.. Malaysia in THREE days!!!
**Warning** Photo overload ahead!

hi jimmy... was it really that cold tht ur wearing a jacket? or was it just the wind? i see u guys enjoyed urselves
Hi Keng Seng! You enjoying the tropics? Mt Wellington was really cold because of the wind. We coundn't open the car door because the wind was blowing too strongly!!! We thought the sound was an aeroplane/chopper flying by imagine!
Yeah, we had heaps of FUN, would recommend Tassie to anyone who appreciates nature!
i do, sadly find it difficult to find someone to go with me to tassie and often get discouraged with talk like "there isn't much to see there". i'll be able to prove them wrong with ur blog. tropics is good, and home is the best that i dun feel like going back (for once i'm actually saying that!)
That's true. People seem to have this pre-conceived idea of Tassie. Even the pictures we took don't do enough justice to the gorgeous view! As long as you've got a car, Tassie is all out to be explored! We drove more than 700km in 2 days!
And I know how you feel! I'm really looking forward to going home but dreading coming back in Dec with so many uncertainties next year.. Well, enjoy Malaysia when you can! Oh and do give me your Melb address too!
