HOBART, TASMANIA
Since we were in the area, Chris, Eric and I drove down the road to the Gordon Dam, and walked across the top of it. It’s a pretty tall structure—one of those places that people with a fear of heights (Chris, for example), might do well to avoid. Apparently you can pay to abseil off it as well, but that wasn’t going to happen today.
We then drove back through the park and walked on a few short nature trails before heading back to Hobart. On the way, we stopped at New Norfolk, where we took a jetboat ride down the Derwent River. It was pretty fun—jetboats can travel at 80 km/hr, and are really maneuverable—great for doing tight turns, spins and such. I was in the front seat, so I didn’t get too wet, but Chris and Eric got a lot of cold water in the face.
