You know you are in proper travel mode when you forget to HIVE. With intermittent reception and busy days relaxing, it's little wonder I have barely been online, save for quick Instagram posts for our Landrover account, @wildtrackdreaming, which documents some of our travels in beautiful Tasmania.

The roadside produce has been amazing.. January is a time for blueberries, raspberries, apricots, cherries and the famous pink eye potatoes.

This update is from the most southern place you can drive in Australia, a place called Cockle Creek, about three hours drive from Hobart. It's cooler here and quiet, save the gentle hush of waves in the still bay.

We will do the south cape walk tomorrow, getting as far as you can walk in Australia.

The whole trip has been wonderful so far. We kept meeting Landrover folk who would introduce us to Landrover folk who would even offer us places to stay, such s this incredible property in Glen Huon, where in one direction was nothing but wilderness.

Bruny Island was also nothing short of spectacular - stunning beaches, white wallabies, surf, oysters, and more. I'll be writing in more detail about it later.

We have also been looking a lot at boats. Jamie's dream is to live in Franklin for a year and do the wooden boat building course.

Whilst it might all look idyllic, it's not been without it's worries. Dad's cancer is back so it's hard not to think about that and feel a little heartbroken. There's no way I'll move to Tassie until we can see Dad safe or fare him well off this mortal coil. It's also impossible to find property here as the market is crazy, so our dream is somewhat delayed.

This doesn't mean we are less in love with Tasmania..it's simply confirmed our desire to live here.

More to come.
