After finishing the quilts , My husband and I left the children 7 yrs, 5yrs and 16 mths with nan & pop and headed off to Tassie for a wedding Easter Saturday. We headed off Wednesday before and had a look about. Had an adventure getting down, missed the flight in Melbourne as the flight was an hour leaving Newcastle, but we ended up getting there after paying for new flights but anyway landed in Hobart got the car and off we went. The Wednesday afternoon we headed up to Mt Wellington what a view, this is the board walk.



This was the view from the south the fog was rolling in. It was just magical


Day 2 We headed down to Port Arthur what an amazing place taking away recent events. We went on a guided tour. Tour Guide was great What a character. Didn't get a lot of time we only spent the morning. Went on the harbour cruise. Had a quick look around the church and the formal gardens . This is a photo of the Penitentiary from the harbour





This is the west wing of the penitentiary with the remains of the hospital behind.




This is the Penitentiary from the formal gardens of the Government Cottage.



Unfortunately the camera went on me and I could take any more photos. But an amazing place that I will go back to but allow a couple of days.

Stay tuned for Day 3 and 4
Happy Stitiching
