This is a good feeling. Dunno if I will ever finish it though.

Hello Tasmania, the cold but beautifully delicious food place
Oh Tasmania. The final state in Australia for me to visit, and now I’ve done all 6 states, and one territory. Northern Territory is my final frontier, but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon. I’ve always wanted to visit Tasmania, but never really bothered to go. All I wanted to do was explore the food festival that happens every new year, but I never wanted to put up with the crowds and the cost of travelling in the holiday season.
Well, finally I got my chance since I had a friend move there, so my accommodation was provided for. It was time to get to know Tasmania and see Salamanca Markets. All in less than two and a half days. First of all, here are some plane pictures!

MONA – Museum of Old and New Art
I was originally planning a foodie only tour of Hobart since my stay was only two and a half days here, but my brother (I think he was the first) asked me if I was going to visit MONA, and that if I wasn’t, that I should go there anyway.
Then I had a few other people talk about it, including my taxi driver, so I thought, hey, it’s a cool place, it featured in Restaurant Australia, and everyone knows about it, so I may as well get cultured while I’m at it.
I did a walk past the information booth on the first day that I was here to enquire the minimum time I would need to get through the museum, since I was very, very time limited with all my restaurant bookings. The lady said that whole day was best, otherwise 4 hours was recommended, and that at a minimum, I’d need two hours. Well, that was interesting. Not being interested in art, I figured I could do this in two hours. However, as my first day was spent getting to know Hobart city, I had to leave it for my second day, and the only time I really had was between my 12PM Franklin booking and my 6PM Aloft booking. Given that lunch generally takes me about an hour, that gave me 5 hours, or so I thought. (more…)

Franklin
Yay, Franklin! While Franklin has always been on my Hobart list, my excitement grew recently after discovering that a chef I am aware of (but didn’t actively stalk at the time) moved here and started working at the restaurant. I would have loved to come here at night for their full dining experience, but because I had far too many places to go and not enough time, I ended up shuffling this one to lunch simply because it was open for lunch while my other restaurants were dinner only. That bumped Templo right off this visit, but maybe next time…. (more…) -
Melbourne 2017, the post I never got to make
I can’t believe it. Finally, a Melbourne trip that I’m going to write up properly. It must be Christmas! Or shortly thereafter. It also took a lot of planning and a 4 day weekend to get to this stage, so here goes nothing! A blog about my second favourite city in Australia.
