The journey to Tassie began with a 10 hour ferry from a port south Melbourne to Devonport. We had a cabin we could nap in or just have privacy when we wanted. The crossing can be rough, but we had a relatively calm trip. We arrived at 8PM and went to the grocery shop to…
From our high point in the Snowy Mountains we dropped back down through Cooma to the Saphire Coast at the idyllic town of Eden.
