11.02 Sunrise Over Melbourne

The Spirit of Tasmania arrived shortly after 6am, and we managed to get back to the apartment by 6.30, so I had a chance to catch the beginning of the sunrise on our terrace before the batteries ran out!

10.02 Tas: Devonport

We arrived in Devonport and drove out to the Bluff.

We then waited for the Spirit of Tasmania to come into port, before we headed off to catch a gourmet pizza on the quay side!

This may be a random photo, but we had followed this orange bus from Cape Tourville, Strahan, Cradle Mountain and now Devonport! This bus is run by a company in Germany called 'Rotel'. This bus is not only used as daily transport but also converts into sleeping accommodation! Looks like the road based YHA has been done before, but I still think there is a lot of mileage in this one!!

After nine hours of being in our Ocean View Recliner, how else am I supposed to look? Is there some weird John McCririck sideburn thing going on?!

10.02 Tas: Evandale

Our final full day in Tasmania, would see us drive down the east side of the Tamar Valley to Evansdale. At Evansdale we went to the Sunday Market, where the entry fee was just 20c! Once inside you could have a ride on a horse or a steam train!

After our tea & latte stop we headed to Longford to look at the Georgian architecture, before heading back to Penguin via Westby and Deloraine. Enjoyed a lovely 'poverty-corner' special on the beach before making our way to Devonport!
