We finished at the markets and headed to Mt Wellington. We thought today (Saturday) would be the best day to do this. The weather is expected to turn for the worst and we were advised by the woman at the front desk to leave our heater on in the cabin as it was going to get very cold. The drive up the mountain was beautiful. The scenery was gorgeous, so green and fresh. By the time we got to the top of the mountain, I was very thankful we put Saffron's ski ja...

In essence, today is our first full day in Hobart and what should we do on a Saturday, but head to the markets. And OMG!! what markets, what an experience!!! We arrived at what we thought was early. The markets open at 0830hrs and we were there around 0900hrs. I could not believe just how packed it was at that hour. The feel, the vibe, just being there was beyond belief. I don't think I have ever been to a market that had such a........... there really is no wa...

We decided that this would be the best start option for Saffron. The Makers Workshop showc...

We decided that as we are on holidays, that we did not have to rush to be anywhere at any set time. For this reason, it was after 0930hrs before we left the Cabin to head off to Launceston. It was an easy drive on a gorgeous day. So different from Tuesday when we were exploring the maze. The sun was out and there was just a gentle breeze - enough to keep everyone comfortable. Our first stop was Cataract Gorge. It is just 2km from the centre of Launceston in an ...
