Our trip to Tasmania began in Hobart, the state capital. After breakfast at a scrumptious cafe (which happened to be on Kelly St! ), we ventured to the Museum of Old and New Art (the MONA). Owned and built by a thirty-something guy who made a bunch of money in online poker, the MONA is quite a provocative place full of art from all around the world. Check out the MONA's website at

Tattoo Tim
This guy travels the world as a museum exhibit. He plans to donate his skin to a museum. |

From Hobart we drove to Freycinet National Park and hiked the 30km Freycinet Peninsula Circuit over two and a half days. Beautiful landscape, amazing beaches and sneaky creatures. On our first night, Adam had a hunger pang shortly before bed and decided to have a few bites of hot salami. He wrapped the salami back up in its thick plastic wrapper, dropped it in a Ziploc baggie and put it inside his zippered pack outside our tent door. We woke in the middle of the night to find a wallaby right outside our tent happily munching away on the hot salami. After shooing the wallaby away Adam examined the pack and found no holes. The salami thief unzipped the pack, opened the Ziploc bag and peeled off the thick plastic wrapper!
After a long, hot day on the trail, we were determined not to be burglarized on our second night. We set up camp on the other side of the creek from where the wallabies seemed to be hanging out, buried the last of our food deeply in our packs, triple checked to make sure all the zippers were closed and hung our garbage up in a tree. FAIL! Before a pair of possums attacked the garbage in the tree, they opened the zipper on my pack, found our breakfast (a bag of oats) and had themselves a wholesome meal. Adam, always one to look on the brightside, was happy the thieves were polite enough not to chew holes in our packs.
