Tasmania

Historic moment - Fay declared this while we wait to disembark from the 'Spirits of Tasmania', "Officially we have been to all states and territories of Australia."

View of the city of Devonport from the Spirits of Tasmania 
We drove along Bass Highway since we can't check in to the resort yet.  Have breakfast at McDonald, Ulverstone.  Such a nice view.

Next we visited The Nut at Stanley.  Took the chairlift to the top of the Nut and went for a walk and met some local residents.

The Nut, Stanley

Pleasant walk at the top of The Nut

Friendly local

This one is a bit shy

Convict Barrack built in 1834

Convicts were housed in these barracks
We stayed at Shearwater Resort, about 20 minutes drive from Devonport.  This photo was taken on the last day we were there, after the rain.
