sooo... at the moment i'm sitting at a couchsurfing host a bit south of horbath (i actually got 2 couchsurfing hosts here.. the one i'm staying this night at and the one that i stayed the last night at and will continue to stay at tomorrow... confused?)
there are also 2 people from germany and one canadian here... kinda crowded :) the 2 germans just came from the overland track (a 5 day walking track trough the tasmanian rainforest... but with huts on the way and stuff... not toooo advanterous i guess when the weather is nice...)

but i think i'll rather write about my last week first..

people:

JACK: Originaly from england, traveled the whole world (complete with tracking trough south america and the himalayas, and visiting his favourite yogi at india) until he found his girl in tasmania where he then settled down and started his vegetable farm.. he's also teaching yoga but since st marys is a 600 people town his classes are rather small one could say... (1-3 people at the moment it seams..)

LIZ: Jacks partner... makes fudge (chocolate+milk+falvour) and wraps it up with a cool vacouumizer machine thingy... in contrast to jack she has left tasmania only once... for thailand.. last christmas... pitfully my camera didn't catch a photo of her :(


IAN: Professioanl Wwoofer.. despite dooing nothing except wwoofing the last 2 years (and having wwoofed intensively for 6 years before that) he didn't ger around much... i think tasmania was the furthest his travels took him... he stayed around his home city before that (newcastle)

i mainly spent my time cutting down Bracken Fern and collecting rasbarries... and organizing my travels and stuff.. climbed a few hills (okay... one hill) and so on... was a nice stay.. well...

When I left, i first hitchhiked to Bicheno (with a nice guy.. coleminer... with "LOVE" and "HATE" tattooed on his knuckles...) which is a small and nice seaside town.. and continued the next day to coles bay / freycinet national park which was also quite okay.. nothing much interessting to tell you but there though...

actually i'm also not really in the mood for writing anymore ;)

well a bit about my situation here though:

im staying at some 60+ year old man's place 30km sotuh of horbat (tasmanias captial city), except for tonight where i'm staying at a married couple's (with 6 children!) place who also host 3 other couchsurfers this night... very nice place and very nice people..
the old man is also quite an interessting fellow... his house looks a bit like a workshop... his yard is full of timber (he's a hobby woodworker)... he's planning on moving in with his fiance (whome he'll mary in a few months) though and will use the house as wood storage then..

oh and he's got 2 sheep and one of those llama like things :)
