I cycled through the Blue Tiers in North Eastern Tasmania today. The day started beautifully at the small town of Weldborough, but the weather quickly deteriorated and I ended up doing most of the 35km in cold rain. I’ve never ridden in such cold conditions (3 – 4 C) before, and it was … Continue reading Blue Tiers I plan to ride a mountain bike through the Blue Tiers in Tasmania this Sunday. It’s a picturesque, remote alpine area of north-eastern Tasmania that is supposed to be well worth the effort. The only problem is that I’ll probably be riding it alone, and I’ve never been there before. So to be … Continue reading Blue Tiers, Tasmania

If you sailed it, you’d probably measure about 75km because of all the bends in the river. Despite this meandering, it is quite deep and … Continue reading The Beautiful Tamar (Part 1) 
The Beautiful Tamar (Part 2)Posted by: neilius. The spectacular Batman Bridge crosses the Tamar near Exeter, about 30 km north of Launceston. Built in 1968, it is unusual in that it is a hybrid bridge (the technical term is “asymmetric cable-stayed”). One side boasts one huge “A” shaped pylon that … Continue reading The Beautiful Tamar (Part 2) |
