Cnr St John & William Streets Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, 7250, 61-3-6333-7555
The first thing on the list for today is Whisky Tasting at the Hellyers Road Distillery – the largest single malt distillery in Australia. Here a dedicated small team are making boutique amounts of what is turning out to be a great set of expressions. Their current malt is now about 7 years old (they are aiming for a 12 year old single malt eventually) but they let you bottle your own from a cask already (which of course I had to do). They also let you wax seal the top. The distillery h...
Launceston, Tasmania, Australia hadwin The main reason for the two nights in Lonny (as it is affectionately know) is to continue my wine tasting in the Tamar Valley. This is the largest wine producing area in Tasmania that incorporates both the Tamar and Piper's Brook valleys. It turns out that the area was larger than anticipated and after a full days tasting I had still only covered one side! This meant that the following morning would also be tasting – no rest for the wicked! See tasting notes below for this day:

Launceston, Tasmania, Australia jel1957... little birds I couldn’t see, some beautiful rosellas whizzing past and one cold kookaburra sitting on the fence with his feathers all puffed up, too cold to sing. Up the road I met a couple of beautiful inquisitive alpacas (or are they llamas?-see pic)<br><br>Although we are really in the country here it is less than 10 minutes into town. This property obviously once had a lovely garden, with a large fenced off, and net-covered vege patch, as there are a number ...
Launceston, Tasmania, Australia karana... a film to fall asleep at 8:30..... now i think that has to have been the earliest night I have had in a while!!! However with 9 people sleeping in pretty much the same room, 4 of them being kids... your bed time is pretty much set for you... we were knackered anyways!! The next few days was spent wandering the surroundings, drinking beer, looking at waterfalls, dragging ourselves over gorges, talking ...
Launceston, Tasmania, Australia viki_fish... the Island, and it was amazing. So much natural green beauty. Cleanest air in the world, and some of the best locals around.

Trying to find work around but nothing seems to be really happening and i feel I'm just waiting for nothing. Only thing, i don't know what to do next as i only have 3 and a ...
Launceston, Australia roamingwilliamHi everyone... We have a lot to update you on since the Tassie game! On Wednesday we played Queensland, and we really stuck it to them. After a hard-fought first half, the score was tied at 0-0. Unfortunately in the second half Queensland snuck one in and the final score was 1-0. But we took heart in knowing that for next time around, we definately have their measure! Yesterday we played South Australia, once again a ...

Launceston, Australia mrewkowski... to listen to the super annoying James Allen. If anyone wants to know why he's so annoying, I'm sure Max could go on for weeks ranting and raving about him if you ask him nicely enough. So anyway, we settled down to watch 22cars go round in circles, and before we knew it, Giancarlo Fisichella was the winner, and it was 1:15 in the morning. Time for bed, ready for an early check-out & a 200km drive to Hobbit, er, Hobart.
Launceston, Australia ozzy2006I think you know when you have taken that step from childhood to adulthood, when you stop waking up at 5am on Christmas day, instead, rather preferring to have a lie in on one of the few public holidays you have been given! Holly doesn't seem to have taken this step yet, eagerly jumping on me at 9am and ramming a Santa hat on top of my head. Lets hope next year will be different! I was quite surprised we all lasted till 12 to open presents, as she was eagerly ...
