About how every hiking-tour should end

Me and my travel companion Claudia

If you come to Tassy you wanna see the nature, the crazy wildlife of Australia, the wonderful landscape (if you're not interested in that cancel your flight straight away!). There are two ways to explore that: by helicopter and plane (which is pretty expensive and probably no choice for anyone who reads travel blogs) or you go hiking. And there are quite a lot of walking paths on this island as approximately 40% are National Parks.

Echidna

One of my favourite hiking trips became Cape Raoul. Not only is the landscape magnificent. This is a magic place where Pasta learn to fly (here's the proof)! Ok, maybe it's less magic and more physic but anyway it's damn impressive to see a Pasta or a stick that you throw down the cliff seeing coming up again and flying over your head (or you get even hit by a noodle) back because of the strong winds that blow up the cliffs.

You might even see some Echidnas (the only egg-laying mammals beside platypus) ambling the path next to you. They aren't too afraid of humans...neither are the snakes! We met another traveler on the path who told us that a big snake was blocking the path making us walking in an always-on-alert-mode. Usually they shouldn't attack you, but be aware not to step on them on accident. ;)

Finnish Sauna after the Hiking tour at Cape Raoul

And make sure that you don't loose the path at the end of the track as we did...but if you make it back to the start of the track you will be rewarded with a Finnish sauna! The farmer who's property is next to Cape Raoul has build up a sauna which you can use for a donation and provides a camping zone for 5$/person! Make sure that you don't come back too late (we started heating up the sauna at 9PM) and you may have a nice chat with Andy, the owner of the sauna!

I published thirty more pictures on Flickr (Click here to see them). Enjoy the view (without the damn strong wind up there), and tell me how you like the pictures ;)
