Back home

At one moment you are 6 months in Australia and at the other moment you are at home for already a week arranging things you didn't expect you to be doing at this very moment 6 months ago. But such is life and now I just need to find a house, a job ...

Via Canberra to Kuala Lumpur

The time has come that I return home. And because my travel insurance has paid my flight I’m flying from Canberra via Sydney and Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam. At the moment I’m halfway this trip. And because my flight is with Business Class (I ...

Falling Leafs weekend

As the end of my travels trough Australia is near I still try to visit some places of interest and do some activities that I’m able to do. As this weekend would be a long weekend because of ANZAC Day and it was also the weekend of Tumut’s ...

Going home!

I’ve made my decision and it hasn’t been an easy one. I’ve decided to go back to the Netherlands. In between the day I did get the result of the CT-scan it went physically well with me but I still feel to much pain in my back to be able to ...

Buddong Falls

After a few weeks doing almost nothing I thought it would be time to undertake some action to see things in this part of Australia. It would be a test for my physical abilities as well. Today we went to Buddong Falls with a short stop at Tumut 3 ...

The end of the road?!

In some way, faith doesn’t let me work (on Tasmania there was hardly some work for me). It’s not that I’ve been fired, no it’s even more worse. I’m not able to work due to a hernia, a double to be correct. It explains the back problems I ...

Possum Patrol

It’s about a week now since I’ve started picking apples in Batlow and I do have to say that I’m not used to get up this early yet. And I think also my body isn’t used to get up at 5:45am as I’ve got stiff legs every morning. But at least ...

Exploring Tumut

A new place means also loads of new things to discover and new opportunities for work, which I started to look for as soon as possible. Because mum and dad would not fly back to the Netherlands before the beginning of March I also accompanied them ...

Goodbye Glenorchy, hello Tumut

The time has come to leave Glenorchy, Tasmania. Today the removal truck comes to pick up all the furniture for the removal to Tumut, New South Wales (NSW). Our plan was to go to Richmond taking Anne with us so Rob and Gerda could keep their mind ...

Happy Birthday Anne

The major reason for family van der Wielen to be in Tasmania is little Anne’s 1st birthday. After all she is the first descendant in the family. After singing for her, the little girl tried to put out the candle with her fingers and she had played ...

Port Arthur

If you would be a convict and been transported to Australia, then you should have feared our destination of today. Today we went to Port Arthur Historic Site. I will explain why you should fear this place. Back in the days of the colonization of ...

Last time Mt Wellington

As dad and Mirjan haven’t been at the top of Mt. Wellington, we decided to go to the top today. From the top Rob and Mirjan would walk down to Lenah Valley via the Zig-Zag Track (the one I walked partially on my first visit), Organ Pipes and the ...

From Devonport back to Glenorchy

The previous story was a bit very long, so I’ll try to keep it a bit shorter from now on. At least this will be easier as I don’t need to translate so much and it will be much nicer for you to read as well. As I told before the rest of the ...

From Glenorchy to Devonport

At 9 February the rest of the family (which is Anne, her mom & dad, her aunt Mirjan and her grandparents) will arrive with the Spirit of Tasmania (ferry) in Devonport. As there isn’t enough room for 5 people and their baggage in the Mitsubishi ...

Freycinet National Park & Tasman Peninsula

After a one day break I left for the next trip. So around noon I got in the car to drive towards Freycinet National Park via the Heritage Highway. A nice drive through the inland of Tasmania with some short spells in Iraq (town called Bagdad) and ...

Tahune Airwalk / Hartz Mountains Nat Park

Because my time at Tasmania is almost over and it appears that I won’t find a job anymore it is getting time to actually see something of Tasmania. You probably would think: No work? Then you got a job for which you had to bend yourself into ...

Hastings Caves & Cockle Creek

Organ Pipes Track

After an earlier attempt to reach the top of Mt Wellington (with Marlous, see an earlier message) I have been able to reach the top again last Thursday. After a short stop at the top I drove back to the Chalet to walk the Organ Pipes Track which ...

Going to Skippy Land

Aan het eind van een studie is het kiezen tussen een fulltime baan of tijd nemen om af te reizen naar een verre bestemming. Aangezien ik spijt heb gekregen dat ik in 2004 niet naar Tanzania ben gegaan is het tijd om die fout goed te maken. En nu mijn broer met zijn gezin in Australië woont is het een extra goede reden om te gaan.

Ik hoop dat jullie genieten van de verhalen van mijn avonturen en ik hoop jullie weer te zien als ik terug ben van de andere zijde van de wereld.

After finishing a study it's to choose between a full time job or traveling to some far away destination. After having regrets for not going to Tanzania in 2004 it's time to make up for that mistake. Now my brother lives in Australia with his family it's an extra good reason to go.

I hope you all enjoy the stories about my adventures and I hope to see you all again when I'm back from the other side of the world.
