- This episode has us moving to Launceston, a location that we had heard wasn’t worth going to. We enjoy our time in Cataract Gorge as well as taking a cruise along the Tamar River. With the autumn colours starting to come out, we spend time in Launceston’s City Park.

Don't forget we've been in drought for some months so water levels are not what they would normally be.
Yes we were amazed to hear how dry it is in Tassie, something that we do not hear about on the mainland.
Happy birthday Mick
Thank you🙂
Belated Happy Birthday
Another great vlog ...we missed Cataract Gorge😪 thank you
Fluked a great 2024 UA-cam vlog you MUST watch ( any anyone who has been to Tassie also):
Locals Resurrect An Abandoned Railway Line by Reel Random -interesting - excellent Jan Adelaide
Thank you! Will see if I can location the video and have a look at it.
You missed the snow and cold by 4 weeks.❤
The snow that we had while camped at Miena was enough for us, too cold🙂
Happy birthday mick
Cheers 🎂
Happiest of birthday's Mick , living the dream keep it up love your stuff and watch every week.
Awesome thank you!
Happy birthday Mick, looks like you had a nice day. I love tassie, it's got heart and soul, but Laurie will always hold a piece of my heart😊 say hi to Sally for us.
Thank you.🙂
Now that is a proper chair lift, not like those stupid gondola 🚠 types. They wrecked the Mount Martha chair lift in Victoria.
A fully open chair with unrestricted views in every direction.
Right! Who said NOT to come to Launceston?! People from Down South, no doubt!! Never heard such a ridiculous thing. Unfortunately I can't get about as I would like or could, but Lonnie is a very charming town with no less than 3-rivers at its heart, a gorge and lots of lovely independent shops and historical neighbourhoods nestled amongst the hills of vines and fruit orchards. I'm very glad you didn't listen to those negative voices - I haven't gotten to the end of your video, so don't know if you made it to Ben Lomond - you'd love that on a day like today. Up here it's almost clear blue skies, day after day - it is certainly drier than we'd like, but the colours have been glorious and I hope you went somewhere special for your Birthday. Wonder where you'll spend it next year?! Happy trails... and safe travels!
We go up to Ben Lomond in the next video, so glad we got to see it. We were very surprised at the amount of blue sky days that we having in Tasmania while there, possibly 98% were perfect days. We have the dry season to thank for that although Tasmania does need the rain. We are planning on doing Western Australia's west coast next year, hopefully things go to plan and we get there. We have done this one before back in 2004.
Another great video, many thanks Mick and Sally
Thank you, hope you and Max have recovered from your trip to Tassie.
Happy Bday Mick, Be sure to unhook and take some roads off the map in the central highlands.. all sorts to be found
Cheers👍 so much to see here no matter what way we go🙂.
The boat to the right at 20:30 is the old ferry from Bruny Island
Not sure why they have the old boats there, not an attractive look.
Happy birthday Mick, and hello to Sally, I was told back in 2000 and something that Tasmania isn't very great in road signs to anywhere, and where there are tight bends and some one could be driving a bit to fast, it could end up becoming cemetery material, has Tasmania improved on road signs since, I hope so, thank you for your videos, they are still GREAT. Mick
Thanks. Road signs are not as good as what it is on the mainland in our opinion, others may disagree with that. If everyone drove to road conditions there would be no issues with tight road bends, we didn't find any situations that were a bit risky. In saying that we always approach tight corners expecting a vehicle coming from the other way to possibly be going too fast and allow for that.
Happy birthday
Thank you😀
Happy Birthday Mick, hope you had a great day. Enjoyed all your videos through Tasmania.
Cheers, thanks 🙂
Great video Mick and Sally! Looking forward to the next one….. hope you enjoyed your birthday Mick! Happy travels from Norm and Jenny 🌊🇦🇺🚗☀️
As we get up in age, any birthday is a great one 😃. It was a lovely meal in Launceston on the day. 👍
That was a very enjoyable reminder of Launceston, our buses took us to the basin & we rode the chairlift across but walked back as I couldn't cope with another trip on it. I wasn't expecting the reaction I had as being high doesn't usually bother me but it was the length of it. We were fortunate to be there in late November & so the rhododendrons were out in full flower as well as the azaleas. The peacocks were in their full glory, so made for beautiful photos. I also enjoyed the park with the monkeys & the flowers were beautiful but they were spring plants which means that they do change them from season to season. We took the boat trip right up the Tamar & stopped at a getty to go & see the echidna's in a building, they also had another building housing seahorses but we didn't get to see those which disappointed me. Our Tassie driver showed us his house over on the river bank so he had a fair trip to work & back each day but wouldn't exchange it for the world. I do hope that you enjoyed your birthday lunch! One trip I had to Launceston we had a couple of hours to just walk around the town & explore it for ourselves which was nice as they have some lovely buildings & homes as well, the lilac trees were in full bloom & looking & smelling great!!
We found Launceston to be so much better than what we had expected. We are hoping to do another trip to Tasmania to see the rhododendrons out in flower amongst other things, something to look forward to.
Happy belated birthday Mick. I have never been to Tasmania, so I am really enjoying this series of videos.
Thank you. This is our first trip to Tasmania and we can't get over how much there is to do and see here winch is all withing such a short distance of each other.
Congrats on your birthday, just the most stunning area of Tassie. Hope you have great weather for your Birthday. Stay safe.
Thank you.🙂
🥳 Happy Mick Day 🎂 Birthday Boy 🎁🎈 Great Vid Sally 💐 Mick 🍷 Cheers 🍻
Thank you! Cheers!
Happy birthday Mick and may you enjoy many more
Thank you🙂
Happy Birthday Mick.
I hope that you have enjoyed your special day for your birthday.
Sadly, today, I have had one of my very emotional days today.
Suffering depression.
I guess we can all have our good days and bad days.
But as life goes on, we all make the most of what we can and enjoy what we've got.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and please save travelling take care.
Regards from William.
We all have up and down days but the main thing to do is to keep positive with what we are doing. Keep strong and take care of yourself.🙏

Thank you for the birthday wishes, it was a great lunch and day. The chairlift is up for an upgrade according to the media in Tasmania, will be interesting to see what they do with it.
