Tassie Devil Day 6 - Port Arthur We spent this morning walking round the historic site at Port Arthur and got to see all the ruins of the old prrison buildings. We also went on a boat tour around the harbour to see the Isle of the Dead, which shockingly is where they buried their dead. On the way back to Hobart for the end of the tour we topped off at a Tasmanian Devil park and got to see two devils being fed and fighting over their food. After that we also sto...

Tassie Devil Tour Day 4 - East Coast The first place we stopped today was Launceston, which is the 2nd biggest town in Tassie, and the first place that's felt like proper civiliastion all week!

We arrived in Tasmania this morning, and the taxi driver we had from the airport was a mad man! He was polish and kept going on about how his number plate had MP in it which stands for Minister of Parliament etc. We decided it stood for Mad Pole! He was chatting to us on the way and seemed appalled that we didn't know that a prince from Denmark married a Tasmanian, and was interrogating us about boats and stuff. Then, when we mentioned we were going to look for f...
