Launceston and home.

 Arriving in Launceston I walked to the City Park, which was just down from my hotel and was intrigued to find a Macaque monkey enclosure there.  I headed towards the Boags brewery hoping for a tour. Unfortunately they were closed so I continued to head to the river. It was a pleasant stroll although it was a very muddy river - I did see a lonesome dolphin. There is obviously a tidal problem here as there were many signs about the mud. When the tide is out most boats are stranded and high tide is 3m higher so you have to pick your time to move. I went on a short boat excursion into the Cataract Gorge.

In the afternoon I had a walk around the Cataract Gorge reserve.

I had to head back to Davenport for my evening ferry and headed to Deloraine and wandered around looking at some of their sculpture trail.

I then went for a very nice lunch at Christmas Hills Raspberry farm - delicious food and lots of raspberry products.

It was then on to Devonport.

I erred on the side of caution, after chatting to a chemist, and took a seasick tablet! I was in a recliner chair and actually slept a lot better.

The trip home was long! Left Melbourne just after 6am and arrived home around 4:30 pm - with stops for nanny naps, food and petrol!

Had a wonderful time in Tassie and will return.
