As part of our weekend in Tasmania Xuan and I drove about 70 kilometres out of Hobart to the Huon Valley to experience the Tahune Forest AirWalk which is a 597 metre walk 20 metres above the ground. The highlight of the walk is the cantilever which protrudes out from the main walk structure giving amazing views of the surrounding forest and the junction of the Picton and Huon Rivers. It was a little scary though as the cantilever swayed in the wind and bounced while you walked.

We also did the Huon Pine Walk which took us across two suspension bridges over the Picton and Huon Rivers. You’re supposed to leave a 10 metre gap between walkers for safety while crossing the bridges. The bridges bounced and swayed heaps as you walked on them. Now that was a pretty amazing experience.

Xuan and I headed to headed down to Hobart, Tasmania for the weekend. Neither of us had been there before so we were both quite excited. Our flight arrived late Friday afternoon and we made our way straight to the Barilla Bay Restaurant (1388 Tasman Hwy, Cambridge) for dinner. We shared the oyster platter which was absolutely amazing. About 34 oysters served in about 7 different styles. They were definitely the best oysters I’ve ever eaten.

Our trip was only a short one (our return flight was on Sunday morning) so we didn’t get to visit as many places as we would’ve liked. Some of the places we did visit included the Salamanca Market, Tahune Forest AirWalk in the Huon Valley and Port Arthur. We got to Port Arthur quite late so we didn’t get the chance to do any tours of the historic sites. We’ll have to save that for next time. There are also so many other places in Tasmania that I still want to visit so we’ll be definitely heading back there sometime in the future.
