Richmond

 Quaint little town although it has expanded since we were last here.

The famous bridge in the background, built by convicts in 1823. Oldest bridge in Australia and still in contance use.

Our house is just up the road.

Taken sitting on sofa in lounge room

Kitchen area, no stove but there is an electric frypan and microwave.

Our bedroom is just to the right.

Travelling to Richmond

 Woken on ferry ay 5.15am, ready to start disembark8ng at 6am.

As our accom wouldnt be ready until 2pm, we had several stops. One at Perth, didnt know ghere was another Perth outside of Western Australia

Red bridge, we walked down the town to this one

This was at a kids park in Perth

Some mural.

Did an adventure lab at Oaklands and also one at Campainia, there were flour mills there.

Ferry

 Dinner was a buffet, set price for main meal, dessert and either soft drink or tea/coffee.

This was mine, roast pork and roast vegies, a few chips and a piece of chicken, could fit the chicken in.

The Spirit of Tasmania.

 The boat/ferry what ever was leaving at 18.45pm, we were requested to be there two and a half hours earlier, no boarding after 6pm.

Five lines of traffic, we had several bikes alongside of us waiting.

Customs came over, checked the boot and back of car. Cannot take any fresh food on board. Very quick and easy.

Our lane went into the bow of the boat, deck one. Our reclining chairs were on deck 7.

More room than plane but foot rest didnt come up properly and I felt that my feet were falling over all night. It was a molded foam thing. Back went back a fair way and we did have plenty of space.

 

The next boat coming in.

One way of bikes

and then the other way. It felt lije being at a bike show without needing to buy a ticket

Heading down into the a........of the ferry.

Heading into Melbourne and Geelong.

 Our ferry across to Tassie now leaves from Geel9ng. We were there m7d morning so did an adventure lab.

It wound itself up and along the foreshore. It was chilly. I had packed a cardigan, uts still sjmmer right! Not our type of summer while getting lunch, I visited Kmart and bought a long lined jacket, I know that I will get wear out of it at home. Note to self, pack warmer clothes 8f and when going south of the border no matter what the season

Holbrook

 We stayed the night here and after dinner made the short walk into town to vusit the submarine.

I do remember stopping off here years ago for the kids to see it and they all climbed on top and ran down the length of it. Surprisingly, it is still encouraged for people to do that. We declined and consented ourselves with reading about it and tak8ng some photos.

It is 90 m long and housed 40 sailors.

Wangaratta

 We had coffee here, a rest break and an adventure lab finding interesting doors and windows.

I love seeing murals on our travels.
