After the full program in Tasmania, we did not mind lounging around on the ferry and waiting for our return to the mainland.
We did not really think about what we could see of Tasmania in three weeks until we arrived in quiet Devonport. There would have been plenty of time to plan on the calm 12-hour ferry crossing, but somehow the spirit of discovery only took hold of us when we set foot “Under Down Under”.
We said a slightly wistful goodbye to Bonnie & Michael and their beautiful home in lively Newtown. Then we rode on more or less continuous cycle paths towards the airport … and past it😊.
From Thredbo, a winter sports resort that was known to be busy in summer, we expected a great descent to Jindabyne and from there a fun route across the Kiandra plateau towards Canberra.
We left Melbourne and its suburbs with four new bike tires and a replacement for the drowned battery charger.
