Tasmania Day One

After a full fun packed few days on the Great Ocean road. I begin to see once again how amzaing this Country really is. If anyone wants a tourist guide for the great ocean road. I would be happy to take the position.

My next Challenge was my first ever over night trip on a ferry to Tasmania. The roughness crossing in Australia. I was told. Which is not what I wanted to hear as me and ferries have never seen eye to eye. I have to say though the crossings were not as bad as I was expecting and defendently worth it.

When on the boat we head straight to the deck to help me find my sea legs.

And when the ships captin wake us up at 5.45am. We were welcomed by Devonport welcome at 6.20am and our Tasmania advnture began.

Early morning in Devonport

Once we had found breakfast our journey around this amzaing place began. We head to the Liffey falls for an early morning walk.

This was followed with a drive through the Great Western Tiers, a walk along Pencil Pine lake and then a drive to Launceston, a bit of bird watching and an evening stroll up Cataract Gorge.
