Had a lovely day without a car, strolling down Cataract Gorge
and then around Launceston, admiring the historic buildings (well, Victorian art deco is very historic to most Aussies)
and generally being good tourists. What a lovely town. The Queen Vic museum of Tasmania
passed a very agreeable couple of hours, most enjoyable.
Next day we went further North to the Narawntapu national park where we walked past the lagoon with a bird viewing hide and back along the beach.
Tasmania has lots of different stuff in a small island.
A day of rain saw us heading to Swansea on the east coast, stopping for a lobster sandwich (Chris) and fish and chips (Judy) at Bicheno on the way. Both are pretty little towns with harbour and beaches, shame about the rain!
Under a clear blue sky we drove north up the beautiful east coast as far as the Bay of Fires which is so inaccessible that you have to just look at it - and take photos of course - stunning.
Then another waterfall before an evening at the theatre in Launceston - what could be more Australian than the musical Georgy Girl all about the Seekers! Remember them??? We even remembered lots of words of their songs, and our singing didn't clear a big space around us.
Back in Hobart now for the last couple of days, coming via the Tasman national park with beautiful cliffs.
Something different again!
As you can guess, we really like Tassie!
