Tasmania Holiday – 2019 Day 1

Ian Schulz

After the usual start to a holiday, flight, touchdown, hire car, travel snacks, and wine, the adventure has begun.

Hobart Airport to the Tasman Peninsula

After landing at Hobart airport and picking up our hire car, our next stop was the town of Sorell for a quick supply shop. Cheese, biscuits, wine and a few groceries to keep us sustained for the coming days. We quickly made our way out of town along the Arthur Highway, taking in the scenery on the way to Eagle Hawk Neck.

The Tessellated Pavement

Just metres before Eagle Hawk Neck, we reached The Tessellated Pavement. One word: Impressive. The Tessellated Pavement is a stretch of flat sedimentary rock along the northern end of Pirates Bay Beach. This sedimentary rock has, over thousands of years, cracked into regular rectangular shapes resembling laid tiles.

We spent a little over an hour here, taking in the beautiful scenery while waiting for the sun to drop, hoping for a spectacular sunset that unfortunately never eventuated, however, we did manage to walk away with several good photos from the area.

While a bit of a tourist hot spot, with a steady procession of people coming and going this is a definite must see when travelling through this area.

Onward to Tarrana

Having had our fill of the Tessellated pavement, we finally made our way to our accomodation for the night.

Welcome to Flavour Road

Ian Schulz

At Flavour Road we are all about sharing our journey as we step outside our front door. Be it a short trip, day trip, or a getaway, hopefully there is something of interest in our ramblings for you. We love nothing better than jumping in the car and taking a road trip, discovering our own “back yard”.

In the past, we have posted to our individual Facebook or Instagram pages with photos to depict our travels, and on many occasions starting a blog has been suggested. So here goes, today the journey begins. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right, and our greatest wish in doing so is to spark the desire in you to want to do the same. Even if you only want to live through us figuratively, providing a portal to escape for just for a short moment while you enjoy a sit and a cuppa. Sparking the desire to plan your own getaway, taking a much-needed break away from your daily grind and immersing yourself in our great outdoors.

So join us as we go exploring, taking photos (which is a love of ours) and let’s face it, readily assessable to everyone these days with a phone. Photos will always include landscape, food, and coffee which is an absolute must, and anything else that tickles our fancy. So sit back and enjoy the ride I know we will. Hopefully, this becomes one of your savoured moments when you get to sit down and let us take you somewhere new for just a few minutes at a time. Like I always say “Life is like a work of art, got to paint it colourful”. So strap yourself in, we are off !!
