Fuggs, Yachts and Getting Lost.

I have now moved on to Hobart the state capital of Tasmania. Known for its Saturday morning market called Salamanca, but more on that later.

Firstly, Ugg boots. A British staple whether it be fake or real ,Uggs are everywhere in winter. Myself I used to own fake Uggs but due to the fact that they only hold up when it's sunny and that I never wear jeans anymore, I gave them up about 2 years ago. The men of Britain have long been condemning these unusual if comfy footwear but women simply love them. However you should know that in Oz, home of the Ugg, someone would not READ MORE>>

Raging!!!

So asides from the broccoflower, the fact that mature cheddar is called tasty cheese and the fact that cosmo is $7.60!! it is sometimes easy to forget that I am out in the colonies and actually 10,000 miles from Britain itself.

This has lead to the same question Any Fitties? And although I know Oz is rich with lush, bronzed surfers running slowly down beaches (T.V has lead me to believe) I was yet to encounter any.

A google search of fitties led me to this image.

So my host goes out to READ MORE>>

Down in Tasmania

Hola! I have made it to Tassie as you may have got from the post, Sat on the bus from the boat to the host house in Launceston one of the first things I see is a sign at the side of the road (like the potatoes £2.99 signs) saying HORSE POO $21 both the capitals and the seemingly high price surprised me. I knew this was going to be a good READ MORE>>

Land Ahoy!

Excuse spelling errors as I am writing this post on my kindle on a boat.

Yes that's right, when thinking to myself 6 months ago of how to travel to Tasmania, I weighed up the possibilites: There is the boat. Which costs twice to price of a plane, takes 11 hours, makes me nausiated and where a hot meal costs $30 OR there is the plane; cheap READ MORE>>
