• Devonport to Bay of Fires

    April 14, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    We had a fairly smooth ride across on the Spirit of Tasmania. At some stage during the night there was some swell but it wasn't too bad.
    Arriving in Devonport at around 10:30 we headed to Launceston to visit Cateract Gorge. But before we got there we pulled into the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm Cafe where we picked up a couple of cups of berries before continuing onto the Gorge. The berries were delicious!
    Arriving at the Gorge we found a rather tranquil park with a 50 metre swimming pool, chairlift and bushland.
    We headed over on the chairlift before exploring some of the trails. We walked quietly so as to not spook the wildlife and was rewarded with a lot of birds and skinks and the occasional wallaby.
    We headed into Launceston for a quick late lunch before heading off to Bay of Fires for the next few days. We're sharing a house with the McDermotts - bit of an upgrade from caravans!
