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
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 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.
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
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.
We had coffee here, a rest break and an adventure lab finding interesting doors and windows.
I love seeing murals on our travels.
We used to live near here on the Army base, Seynour was the nearest town fof shopping. It is bypassed down by the new highway.
At a previous stop, a guy told us about the veterans wall and park that had been made in Seymour. We made it our next stop.
The wavy wall was most spectacular. Hard to photogragh but in alfa order, it listed every soldier who served to Vietnam, all 60,000 plus. Then Navy, Airforce and the animals. We will be visiting with a friends widow in a few days and we found his name and took a pic.
