Certainly a change of scenery coming into the north - more open and green. Quick visit to Low Head lighthouse then down the Tamar valley, over the Batman bridge and a slight diversion to Beauty Point - very nice part of the country and our favourite spot so far. Decided against paying AUD$40 each to look at seahorses and platypus! Nice drive then down into Launceston - much nicer than Hobart and seems to have retained its historical air. Better laid out and more open, nice old buildings. Took the chair-lift up into Cataract Gorge for a peaceful (except for the squaking peacocks) afternoon in the sun. More relaxing followed at City Park before finding our hotel, a former convent called Auldington. Decided to have Sally's birthday dinner early (since we'll be on the ferry on the day) and went to the Jailhouse Grill - can recommend it. Walked there and back as it was only a couple of blocks away and it was a very mild night.
