Started the day walking around Launceston, found Kathmandu had a 50% off sale so Sharon and I purchased some goretex coats (at half price it is very hard to say no to something like that) and a camera tripod. Walked up to the jetty and went on a 3 hour trip up the Tamar River which was well worth the money. After getting some way overpriced Fish & Chips (and very average as well) we walked over to the Launceston bowl and watched a fairly impressive fireworks display (not bad for a small city!) before heading back into town and drinking in the New Year at a Irish Club listening to a local band.

Started the day on the way to Launceston visiting the Liffy Falls which really are just magical and well worth the visit. Proceeding onwards we past the Alum Cliffs (which are home to the Liffy Falls) and proceeded to Mole Creek the home of Marakoopa Caves. Marakoopa Cave complex is actually still being explored and being a wet cave you get heaps of natural formations. After the guided tour we decided to lace on our hiking boots and take a hike up to the Lobster falls before finally getting back and completing our journey to Launceston.

Stay’d overnight in a lovely old house (B&B) in Devonport in this huge room with a KING size bed which left us really struggling to get out and about in the morning. Sharon made instant friend’s with the household cat and we left wishing we could have arranged two nights (it was booked out) instead of just the one.. We spent the day going to Leven Canyon, Preston Falls, Stan Wing Lookout, township of Stanley (Home of the Nut, check out the photos you will see what I mean) coming back via Rocky Cape National Park. During the day I received a call from my mate in Melbourne saying that Australia Post had forgot to make sure he signed the declaration correctly thus the parcel containing my camera would be delayed another day, making it two more days before I could get my hands on my Canon G1
