Next on the agenda was to discover the center and famous Cradle Mountain.
Our next stop was Hobart where we based ourselves to visit the city and surrounding areas of Port Arthur, Bruny Island and Franklin.
I have wanted to visit Tasmania for 20 years and we finally made it! I have broken the Tasmania part of our trip into 3 separate blogs.
We based ourselves in the cute town of Maryborough while exploring the Goldfields region. This area is full of towns and cities that were part of the Victorian Gold Rush from the early to mid-1800s.
This is my fourth time visiting the Great Ocean Road (the first time for the kids) and I still find it thrilling and beautiful.
We really loved Mount Gambier. Due to all the past volcanic activity, it has a really unique and picturesque landscape.
From Mildura, we headed south to the town of Horsham. The town was lovely and the Grampians National Park was amazing!
Broken Hill is famous for its mining and where today’s largest mining company got started – BHP (initially stood for Broken Hill Proprietary). Broken Hill is so named because one of BHP’s founders thought that there were resources to be found on a hill that looked ‘broken’.
