Sometimes journeys\u00a0and ideas are dreamt up over a long time, others are on the spot decisions reached moments before enacting on them. I had my eyes set on a trip down the west coast only weeks before setting out on the adventure, the plans changed more than once in the end I found myself attacking this leg of my Tasmanian adventure solo.<\/p>\n

The original intention was to do a less off the beaten track version of this with my \u00a0partner but work had her heading home early from the east coast.<\/p>\n

I set out from Launceston airport at 4pm with a vague goal of reaching Cradle mountain, 160km to the west, by around midnight. The first 75km were done with ease and I reached Deloraine for dinner around 730pm.<\/p>\n

Tasmanian road trip 2.0 started like this, should make the 160km commute stage to cradle Mountain a bit easier!<\/a><\/p>\n
