Tasmania Trip

From 6 Nov to 11 Nov 2008, My friends and I went to one of the state in Australia, Tasmania.

Tasmania is located at the south east of Australia. It is a small island full of scenic view and flora and fauna. The state and largest city is Horbart where is located south east of the island.

After an one-hour-plus flight, finally we reach Horbart. We went to a backpacker's accomadation to spend our night. It is named as Pickled Frog which is a funny name to me.

Horbart is a quiet city espacially at night. It is near the pier and it is famous for its seafood. We tried Mures where the 1st time i ate fresh oyster and some raw seafood. It is disgusting to me but the taste is great. Besides, there is a famous fish and chips shop which is my favourite. We missed the Salamanca Market which only operates on Saturday, but we didn't missed the 24 hours bakery at Salamanca Square where award winning meat pies are served. Yum, yum...

Horbart Pier

We joined some tour which bring us around the west side of Tasmania. We went into forest and see lots of nice viewing waterfall. We did some hiking job in the rain too.
