Today was ferry day, all mechanical faults fixed and we boarded the “ Spirit of Tasmania 2” The sea in the Bass Strait was kind to us and it was calm. We arrived about 6.30 and drove out of Devonport to Latrobe and stayed our first night on the Island State.The weather is also being kind beautiful days and cool, but not cold,nights.

In Latrobe we found this shop, come display, come coffee shop , come gift shop called RELIQUAIRE . It was a tourist attraction in itself. If you couldn’t buy it there I don’t think you could buy it. I bought astronaut ice cream for the kids. A store for kids and grown ups alike.

We also visited the axeman’s hall of fame in Latrobe. A dedication to all those axeman who started in the timber industry then used this skill for entertainment to compete against their mates.

I’m glad you had smooth sailing across Bass Strait. It sounds like your first day in Tasmania was a nice start to the trip.
If i ever get to Latrobe I really want to get to that place - RELIQUAIRE
What a lot of fun.
You would have sailed past us on the ferry, good to hear it was smooth sailing. You are visiting interesting places.
