Day 7 in Tassie (Part 2) - Hobart To Gordon Dam

After spending the morning of Day 7 in Tasmania exploring Hobart and the ruins of one of it's historical forts I then left Hobart in the afternoon on a glorious ride up to the magical Gordon River Road to Gordon Dam. I didn't realise it at the time but this road was about to become my favourite motorcycling road in all of Australia!

In late February 2020 (only a week or so before Covid border closures and travel restrictions) we set off on Suzuki V-Stroms for a 3 week motorbike trip from South East Queensland to Tasmania and back. The reason for the trip was to meet fellow V-Strom owners from all over Australia in the Apple Isle and have some adventures. Lots of adventures! I rode 8000km on this 3 week trip, roughly 5000 getting to Tassie and back and 3000 on the island over 13 days there. Grinning with joy the whole time!
