Hobart

Have had 2 nights since leaving Strahan, Tarraleah between Queenstown and Hobart was a hydro power scheme town in 1930s only a few houses left on an estate that's now owned privately, small Caravan Park and couple of self contained units where we stayed.

Hamilton next stop on farmstay

on the banks of Lake Meadowbank very pretty spot, foggy in morning just like Boyup Brook made us feel very at home.  

Had 3 night's in Hobart at Lodge on Elizabeth, heritage listed Georgian mansion built in 1829. 

Did bus tour up Mt Wellington, great view of the city. Big red bus tour which was great giving Tone a rest from driving, some magnificent old buildings with lots of history.

Visited Richmond 20 minutes from Hobart, it was established as a military starting post linking Hobart with Port Arthur.

Bridge built by convicts in 1823

Oldest 1835 existing Catholic church still used in Australia 

Went by ferry to MONA (Museum Old New Art) about 25 minutes away, incredible architecture, and modern art.

South of Hobart down to Southport very picturesque bays and little towns, staying at Cradoc in very comfortable S/C accommodation, left early for Kettering to take car ferry to Bruny island.

Had a great day on a sea cruise from Adventure Bay on Sth Bruny down to The Friars islands, heaps of seals on the rocks.
