Lovely Launceston

After a very shaky and tiring journey,we started the morning with the waiting to get off the Spirit of Tasmania 1.  It was a relief to get off and it wasn't long before Katie regained some of her colour and was back to her self.

Rather than doing a foodie discovery tour a change of plans was needed
for the unsettled ones and we went to Tasmania Zoo about 30 km from Launceston.


Many animal was to be seen and two highlight's were the Little Penguin feeding and also Tasmanian Devil feeding.

We also has the pleasure of seeing baby wombat and mother, and in Katie's own words, 'Soooo, cute'.

The Zoo staff were very professional and knowledgeable.

We then checked into our accommodation and were very impressed, this is definantly one of the times it has paid off to research and book ahead.

The afternoon was spent in Launceston at Cataract Gorge and taking a ride on the chair lift.

The evening was finished with a spanish dinner tapas style at Toros Launceston
