Are You a Sceptic or a Believer? - Port Arthur Ghost Tour.

The Port Arthur site was a penal station, using convict labour during the early 1800s. You can imagine, the stories to be told would not be of happy moments, leaving behind many disgruntled ghosts who refuses to move on. And that… I can guarantee you, that this is what the ghost tour will reveal. Our tour guide was Ross, he was amazing!

Ross randomly picked three people in the group to carry the lantern during our walks, one at the front of the group, one in the centre and the other at the back, to make walking and vision easier in the dark. He told us that he was sceptical at first but had encountered some paranormal activities while on site.

Then the terrifying stories of

ghosts commenced at each stop – our first stop was ‘The Church’, it looks quite eerie at night. What spooked me most was ‘The Separate Prison’ and ‘The Commandant’s House’ – I won’t share further details with you.

However, I can confirm many tragic, sad and misfortunate events happened on that site. Ross portrayed the stories in such a way that you can actually visualise and feel the ghosts’ pain and have a better understanding why lost souls still remain on site to this day. Did I see a ghost? No. Was I scared? Yes. Did I mention that Ross was amazing?

He even said a few relatable ‘ghost’ jokes after finishing telling us terrifying stories of convicts and / or buildings, to lessen the intense.

The tour is a 1.5-hour walking tour, so please wear comfortable, enclosed shoes, as there is a lot of walking to be done and the ground in some areas are uneven and have loose gravel.

At the end of the tour, you will return where you originally started the tour – where the gift shop is located.

Each participant will also receive a ‘Bravery’ certificate to take home – a nice finale touch and memento.

I have been on a ghost tour in Sydney at ‘The Rocks’, but I have found this ghost tour to be the best ghost tour experience I have had… so far.

I also gained a lot of history at the same time, truly recommend this tour should you be staying or visiting Port Arthur. This tour is worth every cent, a fair price @ $27 pp.

We (my wife and two daughters) were so intrigued, that we decided to book a day tour the following day, so we could have a better look at the site during the day.

The Hub of Hobart - Constitution Dock

It was our third day (29 December 2019) in Tasmania and we decided to travel from Port Arthur to Hobart and make it a day of fun things to do in Hobart.

There are lots to do both in and around the waterfront. Our first stop was Federation Artisan Chocolates, followed by MONA museum and then experience the most celebrated food and wine festival ‘The Taste of Tasmania’ (the largest festival of its kind in Australia) which is located nearby Constitution Dock Marina.

It is a free event, a range of food stalls available, selling Tasmanian produce and it is held during the ‘Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race’ with plenty of entertainment to celebrate their arrival in Hobart (28 December 2019 to Friday 3 January 2020) – well catered event.

If the food stalls are not your taste, there are many high-end restaurants you could dine at, but their price ranges are pricey. My intentions was to see the yachts and have their famous scallop curry pie – which is exactly what I did.

What I was surprised was the food van where I purchased my pie do not exchange cash – card only. Their 'Scallop Curry Pie' was creamy and tasty, a must buy – it’s a Tassie thing to do and experience.

Seeing the yachts, words cannot describe, I was very excited to take part of this amazing event.

Constitution Dock Marina is a great draw for tourists, on its own, as boat tours embark from the docks area (Brooke Street Pier) to view Hobart via cruise or a convenient way to travel to MONA museum or if you’re adventurous enough, book a Bruny Island Cruise adventure (which we did and took part on 6 January 2020). Hobart is also famously known for their markets, where they get to showcase their wonderful produce.

We didn’t take part in any of their markets, as we were heading to our next stop the following day – Launceston. However, if you are staying in the heart of Hobart, you have opportunities to visit the markets: Salamanca Markets (Saturday 8.30am to 3pm, Bathurst Street); Farm Gate Market (Sunday 8.30am to 1pm, Bathurst Street); Hobart Twilight Markets (various times / dates - check their Facebook); and Street Eats @ Franko (every Friday night – November to April, Franklin Square).

Constitution Dock Marina is surrounded by great places to eat and lots of activities to do, or simply sit back and relax and take in the atmosphere / views and enjoy your day. The only downfall I found is that it is meter-parking, it should be free parking during ‘The Taste of Tasmania’ event. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen too – it was a very hot, sunny day, where you will burn quite easily having the sun reflecting off the sea.

Chocolate Made The Old-Fashioned Way - Federation Artisan Chocolate

This visit was a last-minute thought. We already pre-booked the Port Arthur Ghost Tour for Sunday at 9pm, leaving the day free, so we decided to travel from Port Arthur back to Hobart for the day.

Federation Artisan Chocolate is only a 5-minute walk from Hobart’s Waterfront. There is on-street meter parking available and it is free entry to the store.

We didn’t make any bookings but willing to pay for a tour, however their Head Chocolatier wasn’t there – as we arrived at 10am… the doors just opened for business. But Maurice Curtis, the owner of the business, was more than happy to show and tell us all he knows about the history of chocolate making and the process of how chocolate is made – from bean to chocolate, you could see a mapped process displayed, where they make chocolate, through their window into that room as well as the machinery they use.

He told us with pride that they make chocolate the way it used to be made 200 years ago. We learned a new chocolate term ‘liquor aging’, which is not what you think, ‘liquor’ is another term in the ‘chocolate world’ meaning liquid.

We found Maurice to be sweet and kind to give us a spontaneous personal tour and found him to be very passionate and knowledgeable in the chocolate industry. He assured us that he uses only genuine ingredients with no added essences or oils. He also shared with us that working in a chocolate factory had always been his dream, which he finally made his dream come true by 2014!

We then headed to the counter to buy our chocolate treats – Maurice’s wife Helen served us. She put no pressure on us and allowed us to select our chocolates in our own time. Helen was very accommodating in explaining the flavours of the chocolates individually – but still didn’t make our choosing any easier.

The chocolate display looked amazing and colourful, very hard to select just a few chocolates – if we could, we would have bought the lot. We ended up buying an assortment of moulded chocolates @ $3 each and couldn’t resist to take them back to our lodge, but ate them on-the-spot.

The verdict? Truly delectable. You could actually taste the difference between the cheap mass production and the ‘real’ process. Their chocolates are simply rich in flavour and melts in your mouth.

Indulgent experience, especially for the ones with a ‘sweet tooth’. Open seven days a week, Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm, Saturday 9am – 3pm and Sunday 10am to 3pm.

Cabin Was Not What We Expected - NRMA Port Arthur Holiday Park

We chose to stay at this park because it is only a 5-minute drive away from Port Arthur Historic Site and also met our budget ‘Garden Cabin’ to cater for four adults.

When checking-in, you will receive at reception the key to the cabin, a map of the park so you can easily locate the cabin plus a four-digit code to open the boomgate and Wi-Fi password.

We did find the cabin to be ‘compact’. The main bedroom is in the same room as your dining and kitchen – no privacy. The other bedroom had bunk beds, a roll away and a sliding door to close the room.

However, I found the lay out rather peculiar. To access the bathroom from the main bedroom, you would have to open the sliding door of the other bedroom, walk through and into the bathroom. This could be rather annoying if the other two are asleep.

As for the bathroom, it was long and narrow, no room to put your toiletries, we used the windowsill to rest our toothbrushes and toothpaste. As for the shower, there was no shower shelf / racks to put your shower products – that was awkward and uncomfortable.

The shower racks don’t have to be fancy but it would have been nice to have one for convenience, I have seen at other cabins that we stayed at, a simple shower rack hanging from the shower head, at least there was a rack – room for improvement. Also when sliding the bathroom door closed it hit the leg of the bunk bed so there was a gap of about 5cm.

So overall, the layout of the cabin was not well thought of. Having said that, the cabin was neat and clean, beds come with clean linen and towels, with complimentary mini bathroom accessories (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion). A complimentary coffee and tea starter kit is provided (including 300ml milk in the fridge). Offers one free car park space per cabin (beside the cabin). Their free Wi-Fi service connection was very slow (but we were prewarned by reception upon arrival), you only get 1GB daily allowance, which will reset at midnight.

There is a guest booklet ‘compendium’ on the dining table with your ‘do’s and don’ts’ on site to ensure you have a safe and best experience as well as what Port Arthur has on offer – you would be pleasantly surprised there are other activities to do apart from visiting the Port Arthur Historic Site. The booklet also reveals all the services and facilities available on site plus local restaurants.

However, what the site had to offer, compensated for the cabin. The surrounding environment and serenity of the place was pure pleasure. The park is close by the sea (perfect for fishing) and also has a kiosk which is located at reception (basic supplies); fully equipped camp kitchen; BBQ area; pizza oven; amazing playground area for the children; and laundry. If you do have young children, this is the perfect place to stay. They also offer ‘pedal go-karts’ for hire – a popular activity for the kids.

For the ‘health fanatics’ they have ‘self-guided tour’ walking tracks available to ‘Stewarts Bay’ (5-minute walk) or ‘Historic Site’ (50 minutes return), along your walk they have fun and interesting facts displayed for you to read about the Port Arthur Penal settlement and the region.

If you are lucky enough, you may stumble upon wildlife – there are signs displayed on trees of the wildlife living on the property that you may come across – we didn’t see any.

Staff are very friendly and are there to help you at any time, they have brochures displayed upon the wall for you to take and are happy to help you book tours or services on your behalf.

Photos Do Not Justify This Park - Tasman National Park

Photos do not justify Tasman National Park (situated on the Tasman Peninsula), it is far more spectacular and breathtaking in person, no wonder it’s a popular tourist destination.

Finding the park is very easy, we left Hobart and headed to Port Arthur by the Arthur Highway – an advisable, welcoming stop while traveling to Port Arthur.

There are plenty of large road signs clearly displayed (you can’t miss them) along the highway for tourists to easily locate the monumental rock formations - Tessellated Pavement, Tasman Arch and Devils Kitchen.

Free parking is available – I have found that if you do take part in this activity, then it is best to start in the morning (we started our travels at 9am), you will definitely find parking, as time goes by, this place becomes very busy.

Safe, easy walking trails or bushwalks are provided for scenic walks - perfect photo opportunities and lots of flora to be seen and if you’re lucky enough fauna too.

You could easily take a few hours just to absorb the beauty, reading and learning the history of the place and how the rock formations formed (you will find information at scenic points-of-interest, giving the history of the place) while enjoying the walk at the same time.

It is advisable to wear comfortable walking shoes as the gravel could be slippery and sunscreen and a hat to avoid getting sunburnt as the sun reflects off the water and a bottle of water. What to wear?

We visited the park in December, the Summer weather in Tasmania is like Autumn weather, fresh in the mornings and evenings but can get rather hot during the day, especially if you are planning to walk along the trails.

To make your visit more enjoyable, comfortable and practical, layered dressing is the way to go, so you can take layers of clothing off when needed.

There was also a ‘Doo-Lishus’ van, where you can buy a range of ice-creams (in cups or ice-cream cones) mixed berries with ice-cream and cream in a cup is very refreshing and delicious, drinks of hot snacks (‘National Meat Pies’, as well as fish and chips, etc) –

I’m not too sure if this service is available throughout the year? What is more spectacular about this place? It is all for FREE!

Australia's Best Fish & Chips... May Be Questionable? - Tasmanian Gourmet Seafoods.

We stayed at the Hobart Airport Tourist Park but on our way there, there is a huge sign displayed while traveling on the Tasman Highway, that caught our attention “Australia’s Best Fish & Chips… As Voted Peoples Choice 2017” that made our decision easy where we are going to have dinner.

We dined at Tasmanian Gourmet Seafoods during the summer school holidays in December 2019 on a Friday at 5pm (opened seven days a week, from 9am to 6pm). You have the choice of eating indoors, outdoors or take-away.

The ambience of the place was extremely busy, we ordered and paid for our meals at the counter, the service was fast (considering they were really busy – about half an hour wait), staff friendly and provides table service.

We were seated at a square table for four, just enough room for food and drinks, plenty elbow space and their chairs were reasonably comfortable.

Right beside the counter, there is a display of fresh fish, where you may choose the fish you want to have cooked for your meal. And where you enter the restaurant, just on your right, they proudly display the trophies they have won.

I wasn’t that adventurous in my meal, I ordered Fisherman’s Basket @ $24.90 (2 x Battered Fish of the day, 2 x Crumbed King Prawns, 2 x Crumbed Scallops, 2 x Crumbed Squid Rings) with the option either chips or salad – I chose chips.

My wife and my two daughters wanted lasagne but they didn’t have any, so they decided on a Beef Burger @ $10.90 (also with the option of either chips or salad, they all chose salad).

The Fisherman’s Basket was well presented, clean and fresh in appearance with a wedge of lemon - the chips were nothing fancy, just your typical frozen chips. I expected my meal to be extraordinary rather than ordinary – it was no different to any other Fisherman’s Basket I have had before at other restaurants, it was a bit ‘Blah’ experience for me.

The batter was the right thickness and crisp and equal with their crumbed fish. The fish pieces were tender too.

As for my wife and girls, their burgers were HUGE! We had no idea (nor did we ask) what a beef burger has. Well I can tell you that the beef burger had ‘the lot’… beef patty of course (but very thick, grilled to perfection and tasty), lettuce, beetroot, egg, tomatoes, bacon, pineapple ring, cheese and I’m guessing their homemade dressing / mayo.

They absolutely loved their burger but unfortunately, was very hard to hold the contents together – very messy. They had to pick pieces of food out until they were able to wrap their mouths around the burger – no complaints there, it was packed with flavour and they were able to finish the whole lot – their tummies were full.

Their salads looked very appetising, full of colours, fresh, crisp with tangy delicious dressing – a welcoming finish to their burgers.

I did have the best of both, as one of the girls couldn’t eat their salad, so I ate it myself – highly recommend their salads, if you had to choose between chips and salad.

Overall, we did enjoy our experience, their meals, walking distance to / from our cabin and we definitely walked back to our cabins on a very full stomach. The place did not disappoint and I have found the price to be fair.

Well Laid Out and Organised Tourist Park - Hobart Airport Tourist Park

Accommodation at the park was chosen purely because it is located near the Hobart International Airport (approximately five-minute drive) and that the cabins are self-contained. I didn’t want to travel too far on my first day arriving at the airport, I just wanted to drive to a nearby place where I could just have a relaxing break and start afresh the following day.

You will receive your key to the cabin and white card to operate the boomgate at Reception with a map of the park, so you can easily locate the cabin you’re staying in and Wi-Fi password.

An impressive, neat and clean park, landscaped with native flora, free Wi-Fi access available with reasonably fast connection too – great hotspots.

Inside the cabin, on the dining table, there is a guest booklet to ensure your stay is comfortable. The booklet reveals all the services and facilities available on site plus local restaurants, stores and medical emergency nearby.

The park is dog-friendly, but are not allowed to stay inside cabins, unless they are guide dogs.

I found the cabin to be spacious, clean and well laid out. The beds come with clean linen and towels, with complimentary mini bathroom accessories (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion). A complimentary coffee and tea starter kit is provided (including 300ml milk in the fridge).

Offers one free marked car park space per cabin (right in front of the cabin). The park also offers a convenience store which is located at reception (basic supplies); fully equipped camp kitchen; BBQ area; playground area for the children; laundry (3 x washing machines and 3 x clothes dryer – both take 5 x $1 coins to operate machines).

There are two restaurants that are located nearby (approximately 5-minute walk) and within the guest booklet, the two restaurants menu and price list. This is quite handy to have because it takes the guess work out of it and well prepared what the restaurants have on offer and if it meets your budget. I have found both restaurants at mid-range prices. Subway is also a five-minute walk, located at the BP Service Station.

I did have a comfortable sleep but be prepared for the occasional plane noise flying over at random times – it doesn’t happen that often (nothing to be concerned about), if memory serves me correctly, the first plane to depart in the morning is at 6am.

What I do enjoy most about this park is the convenience within close range – restaurants; service station; car wash (both automatic or hand wash); airport; and close to Hobart city (approximately 45-minute drive) – made my stay more enjoyable. And on top of that, they also offer ‘Free’ shuttle bus for any guest checking in or departing the park, to and from the airport between 9am to 5pm.

Staff are very friendly and are there to help you at any time. I highly recommend this park, it has everything at your fingertips!

Vietnamese Cuisine - Mylan Vietnamese Restaurant Wollongong

This is my first experience eating at a Vietnamese restaurant. We dined at Mylan restaurant on a Friday night, which was quickly filled by 7pm – I highly recommend to make reservations, which is what we did.

Although the place is very busy, we didn’t have to wait long to be greeted by friendly staff and seated promptly at our table with bottles of water and glasses.

There is a relatively large number of meals to select from their menu and yes, there are meals for vegans and dishes that are gluten free.

Their prices are mid-range: Entrées from $4 to $13 and Mains from $19 to $33. I ordered ‘Spring Rolls’ for my entrée, which you get four spring rolls with a bowl of dipping sauce – the dipping sauce was bland (it had no flavour) but the spring rolls were cooked to that ‘crunchy’ perfection and the ingredients were delicious.

For my main, I ordered ‘Sweet and Sour Pork’ (tomato, pineapple, cucumber, capsicum, celery and onion) at $21 – the presentation and colour of this dish looked amazing, the taste of the food was loaded with flavours and that this meal was made with fresh ingredients.

One of my friends ordered ‘Fresh Rice Rolls’ as an entrée at $9 and ‘Prawn Satay’ at $25 – which the presentation looked equally amazing and I was told that it tasted very nice but the prawn satay was a little too spicy to enjoy the meal thoroughly – which he did tell staff when we left the restaurant for future patrons.

The portion of our dishes were of normal size. This restaurant is clean, family friendly, very welcoming and the ambience is fun – a perfect place to catch up with friends and family. The service was quick, we didn’t have to wait too long for our meals to arrive and our meals arrived piping hot.

What I was not impressed with, was that this restaurant is BYO, which I brought with me a bottle of wine – the twist top bottle. When we paid for our meals, we were charged an extra $15 for corkage ($3 per person – there were five of us), which I can’t understand how they can justify that when we didn’t need any corkage service! I’m not too sure if this is a common thing at BYO restaurants but if you brought beer, you weren’t charged extra – go figure!

They have bathroom facilities available. Metered car parks are free for general public use after 5pm. A nice place to experience Vietnamese food.

Super Mario Indeed - Mario's Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria

My last night stay on the Gold Coast and we decided to do Italian for dinner – it is my brother’s favourite Italian restaurant and saved the best for last.

We visited Mario’s Italian Restaurant And Pizzeria on a Tuesday night, the place was packed with the with a huge lineup along the path.

I don’t know how they do it, but they managed to churn the customers inside with little waiting time and yes… we were walk-ins and felt most welcomed.

The waitstaff were fantastic with good old-fashioned service – good to see this type of service still exists.

You do have a choice to dine either indoors or outdoors – they also offer takeaways or delivery service too.

I had ‘Pollo Cartoccio’ at $34.90 (chicken breast, mushrooms, prawns, shallots, light brandy mustard cream sauce and roast vegetables). The food was well presented, the serving was a large serving with a generous amount of prawns too and the food was tender and ever so tasty.

My friend had ‘Chicken Avocado’ at $35.90 (chicken breast, brandy, light cream sauce, avocado, cashews and roast vegetables). Again, excellent presentation, large serving and a definite ‘thumbs up’ from my her. And my brother had a pizza medium sized pizza ‘Marinara’ (mixed marinated seafood, garlic, parsley and olives) available in three sizes, he ordered the medium size at $25.90. We also had Garlic Pizza to share – yum! Although we struggled a little, we all managed to eat every single bit of our meal, as we are big eaters and washed it down with a bottle of red wine amongst us.

An incredible Italian experience, well trained staff, very family friendly, with an amazing Italian culture and atmosphere ‘Little Italy’. I can understand why it is my brother’s favourite Italian restaurant.

If you’re a lover of fine, traditional Italian dining, this is the perfect place to go.
