Last day in Launceston Part 2

This blog is so tricky to use, it’s continuing to drive me crazy.   I’m going to put all photos at the bottom , and you will just have to work out what they are I’m afraid.

The Gorge we visited yesterday was flooded in 2016, and one of the photos (from ABC ) will show the water outside the cafe in which we enjoyed coffee.  We guesstimate it was about 40 feet above the normal water level.   The flood was very destructive as you can imagine, and a great new children’s playground has been constructed to replace the old one.

After lunch TRO and Blair enjoyed a tour of the Boag’s brewery, while Julie and I went to Pennyroyal, and had a look around.
This is an adventure Park with a variety of  activities to enjoy.  I was a little tempted by the zip line, but managed to resist.

Coffee break at the Silo Hotel, which is a unique hotel that was originally four grain silos.    It’s very luxurious, and you can eat a meal there without being a guest, or enjoy a coffee as we did.

Dinner was at the casino, a very delicious Thai beef salad for me.  

A busy day for us all, so an early night was in order.
