Ye Olde Van Diemen's Land

Thu, 21 Apr 2016 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [644]

Tasmania I reckon; ya olde Van Diemen's Land mate! I reckon the name was changed because the former name would be a pretty ominous name to a hitchhiker; I wouldn't want to get into a van with a demon. A couple of days ago I stepped off the plane absolutely ... Read more >

We left 1770 and drove inland for about 8 hours.  Great drive through the real Oz without the tourist gloss.  We passed cowboy country, mining towns and huge open cast mines, cotton growing fields and sheep farms.  The landscape varied ... Read more >
