Friday 22nd September. Booked on the Spirit
of Tasmania tonight. Packed up and left Stanley,
stopping off at The Maker’s Workshop at Burnie.
Had to stop in at Penguin, expected more penguins, had heard stories
about all the penguin things, but not as much as expected. Had a scallop pie at
the bakery, not very nice.
Drove along the coast for a bit. Don River Railway,
took a ride along the Don River for 15 minutes
or so, and back. Had a look at all their rolling stock. Not bad. Headed in to
Devonport, Spirit is docked. Find a bottle shop that has Ghost Rock Reisling.
Drive out to Mersey Bluff, check out the lighthouse, have a drink at the Formby
Hotel, across the Mersey
River from the Spirit.
Drive over to East Devonport, see where we have to be later for the ferry,
drive along the coast and sit and watch the sea till it’s time to go to the
ferry. We don't really have time to visit Ghost Rock Winery, so we'll save that
for next time too.
Boarded earlier than expected, dinner on
board and then to bed. Extremely calm crossing and wake up in Melbourne.
