Launceston – Ferry

You will all probably be relieved to know that this is the last posting for our Tasmanian holiday.

Well, our party split up again. Lew dropped me off at the Launceston Airport, and I caught a plane to Melbourne where I bunked down at the Missy/Myles hotel before being picked up the next morning by Linda and Chuck after their overnight ferry ride across Bass Strait.

We then hit the road to Canberra, safely arriving about 8 hours later.

Anyway, this gives you a little notion of Linda and Chuck’s ferry ride.

FINI!!
