Holy Crap… I’m in Brisbane!!!
The next stop on my Australian adventure is gonna give me a little break from all the hiking. It also marks the start of seeing a new state, Queensland. Welcome to Brisbane! It’s Australia’s third city, at least that’s what I heard it referred to as. There’s really not a whole lot to see here, but I thought there was enough to spend a day wandering around the city. I actually spent three days here, but only one exploring the…
Holy Crap… I’m in Northeastern Tasmania!!!
This bonus post is a little hodge podge of really short stops I made before and after Cradle Mountain. When I left Port Arthur I had an extra day. In retrospect, I could’ve spent that extra day in Cradle Mountain and had plenty to do, but I didn’t know that at the time. Instead, I drove up the east coast and spent one night in Bicheno. I arrived around sunset, so I just made a quick stop to the Bicheno…
Holy Crap… I’m in Canberra!!!
I left the Snowy Mountains that didn’t have any snow yet and headed northeast through some really beautiful grassland until I reached the Australian Capital Territory. It’s a smallish territory created specifically to encompass Australia’s capital city, Canberra. I wanted to see the capital, of course, but I was most excited about all the museums.

Holy Crap… I’m in Khon Kaen!!!
From Udon Thani it’s just a short drive south to another important northeastern Thailand city, Khon Kaen.

I started with a cruise through Phu Wiang National Park and a quick hike to the…
Holy Crap… I’m in Ulaanbaatar!!!
I’m at it again! Greetings and salutations from Mongolia in the central Asian steppe! After roughly 38 hours of flights and layovers I finally arrived in Ulaanbaatar, the capitol of Mongolia, extremely tired. The ride from the airport took a little over an hour in Ulaanbaatars notorious traffic, but I made it to my hostel, checked in and headed to the main square, Sükhbaatar Sq, just a couple of blocks away to wander around with what was left of the…
