That’s it! We sold Denny Crane, our van for the last 5 months, to a nice German-Tasmanian couple.
It was a bit of a heart breaker, but we had to let him go.
As you can see, we’re a bit late on the blog: currently, we are posting articles about Tasmania, but really we’re already in Brisbane!
We’ve got 12 days to spare before flying out to Buenos Aires via Auckland, and we haven’t decided yet what to do in the meantime (beside catching up with the stories on the blog!)
Anyway, we have plenty of time now!

Ca y est ! On a vendu Denny Crane, notre van pour les 5 derniers mois.
C’etait difficile, mais il a fallu le laisser partir.
Comme vous pouvez le constater, on est un peu en retard sur le blog : on parle de la Tasmanie, mais en fait on est deja a Brisbane !
On a 12 jours avant de s’envoler pour Buenos Aires via Auckland, et on a pas encore decide ce qu’on va faire d’ci la (a part rattraper notre retard sur le blog !)
Mais bon, on a plein de temps libre maintenant !

Apres Melbourne, on a opte pour la couteuse traversee en ferry pour visiter la Tasmanie - On avait un peu peur pour Denny, compte tenu que c’est tres montagneux, mais ca s’est tres bien passe et on a passe 8 jours magnifiques dans cette ile situee sous la pointe sud de l’Australie

After Melbourne, we decided to take the rather pricey ferry over to Tasmania. We were a little worried for Denny, as Tassie is quite mountainous, but no worries, as they say, and we had a great, if rather rushed, 8 days on this very diverse island below Australia’s southern coast

En route pour Melbourne, on a pris la route touristique le long de la cote: “The Great Ocean Road” pour deux jours remplus de vues spectaculaires et de koalas

Apres les longues plaines du Nullarbor, on avait besoin de voir un peu de relief, et on a donc mis le cap vers le parc national des Flinders Ranges, avant de continuer vers le Sud et Adelaide

After the never ending Nullarbor plains, we needed to see some peaks, so we set the compass for Flinders Ranges National Park, before continuing south towards Adelaide

Apres Noel, compte tenu du temps clement, nous avons decide de prendre la route vers l’Est, a travers les plaines du Nullarbor - dont le nom vient du latin “Nullus Arbor” : “Aucun arbre”

After Christmas, given that the weather was unseasonably cool, we decided to hit the road east, crossing the Nullarbor Plain. Nullarbor comes from the latin “Nullus Arborum”, or no trees. There’s actually only a small stretch without any tree at all, but it remains a long, flat, straight drive!
