Day 14

To Devonport

Our final day in Tasmania. Our first destination only 6 minutes away was Cataract Gorge. A Victorian Pleasure garden created by the draining of a swamp. We took the chair lift across the gorge and as we got off Emma spotted a wallaby in the bushes. We took a gently meandering path downhill to the Gorge Viewpoint. There were a lot of peacocks around.

We then crossed the suspension bridge and back to the car park Our next stop was the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm at Elizabeth Town. After a short walk around their little lake we enjoyed a long, leisurely lunch at their cafe. It was pretty much raspberries with everything!

We then revisited the Anvers Chocolate Factory for a few holiday momentos and then on to Devonport. With time to kill we visited the lighthouse at Formby and then had a picnic tea with the seagulls in Pioneer Park.

We then set of to the ferry terminal where we queued, boarded and found our cabin for a good nights sleep as we travelled back across the Bass Straight.
