Remembering my adventures
NOVEMBER 4 - 13, 2025 We spent a great deal of time driving. Tasmania is not big, but the roads are winding so progress is slower than usual. GPS took us down some shortcuts that had us wondering where in the hell we were. Some roads did not give the mileage to the next town,... Continue Reading →
