Launceston
Launceston. I was not sure what to expect from this town. Tassie's jokingly refer to it as Inceston for obvious reasons. It seemed much more happening than Hobart to be honest. The people are quite friendly too. We stayed in the Lloyd Hotel & Backpackers. ...

Tasmania - Wilderness & Convicts.

Under Down Under - East Coast Beaches

This is the end
Like my favorite Doors song, this was the end. From Strahan we drove to Launceston. We had basically done 3/4 of this drive already, with the three German girls, so this was mostly just a driving day. However, we did stop at some sand ...
