After almost a year without taking a plane anywhere, we bit the bullet and decided on a road trip around Tasmania. It took a while to persuade hubby but with much cajoling he finally agreed.
We flew straight to Hobart from Perth for the start of our trip. I had booked three nights at Grand Chancellor right on the waterfront. It seemed like everyone in Australia had the same thought. Hobart was buzzing and almost every restaurant was booked solid. Luckily I had prebooked a couple of places before we arrived.
We did the blue bus tour to Mt Wellington with a very chatty knowledgeable driver. On the way back he dropped us off at the Cascade Brewery for lunch and a pint. We then hopped on the red bus back into town.
This was just part of our first day in Hobart. Posting from my iPad which isn’t my favourite way to post!

I think this is the first post I’ve ever read about Tasmania and I’m sure when you’ve finished with it we’ll all know a lot, and have seen a lot of great images. Enjoy your holiday and thing of all the people on this side of the water looking on with envy!
Thanks Mari ..I have so much to post 😁
Like everyone else, I’m envious!
Haha ..that wasn’t my intention

Thanks Lola ..but you’re not my Lola 😅
Wow looks like a great trip Alison. We loved Hobart, seemed to be so much quainter and more historic than mainland Aussie cities. Lovely photos bringing back wonderful memories.
Thanks Jonno, we really enjoyed our trip there. As you say so much history and all so well kept
Sounds like normal life! 🙂 🙂 I used to follow a blog based in Tasmania and it looks beautiful.
It was Jo, I think we will go back to do the stuff we missed
Love to visit Tasmania 💕
Such an amazing place, so many things to see. I think we will go back
wonderful. I am following you now, i would be more than happy if you do the same
I would be the happiest person if you follow me, i will be one of of your followers. Thank you
I haven’t been. I want to go when the borders are opened. What places do you suggest?
The borders are open now Teresa ..from Melbourne you could take your car on the ship overnight to Devonport and then see what you fancy ..we loved Stanley ..still got to post about that ..
Go before it gets too cold
That is what I am thinking…it would be too cold. Maybe I have to wait for Spring. We have something planned in regional Victoria soon!
That’s good news!
Thanks for visiting the best little city in Australia, I enjoyed looking at your photos 😀 Cheers from Tassie!
Thanks for stopping by and we will definitely be back to your wonderful state
There’s certainly a lot of variety to see and do here, as a local there’s still places I haven’t been! Would love to visit WA one day 😀
