Launceston

 After Richmond, we made our way to Launceston with the blokes getting there before the girls and also got the last two pues. Not that I wanted a pie but their description of did make us hope that there was one left.

it was a small town calked Oatlands. So far towns in Tassie have not been bypassed by the h8ggway.

Launceston parkrun

Inside our bnb, a very old townhouse, three bedrooms and bathroom upstairs and stained glass window. 

A park within 409m from the house, very big park with a small train taking people around.

Clock tower

Sorell

 Sorell was where our event was held.

Warren and Sheri did the parkrun while Chris and I wandered over to the event. It was on the showgrounds and there was a mass of sports. Basketball, netball, cricket soccer skate boarding, bmx and afl. A short walk away was horse events.

Rob and I did a big walk around town sussing out the very old build8ngs, most were in the late 1800s. The c9nv8cts did a very good job of putting stones together.

Mona Hobart

 Mona stands for Modern and New Art.

It was a toss up to do the Hop on hop off bus around Hobart, although I had been to most of the venues. Rob suggested Mona so Mona it was.

Windy roads to get there, glad I had a driver. Top carpark was full so we had to go further down and walk up the rise, it was akbout a kilometre.

Paid our money and waited for the lift, it was three floors down, we ended up taking the stairs. It was dark down there.

Interesting, called the fat car

A bowl of water sitting on a chair with two gold fish and a big knife, the fish ware rotated and go back to large tank at night.

The white house, this had a wibdow up the top to let in light.

Not sure what this is but 

I liked the look of it. To the right is the tunnel we walked along to get there which played music. I left at this stage and went back up the top.

Not my type of thing at all.

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