Today is a milestone — we are driving 0km in a car today. No plane rides either.

Our time in Tasmania has come to an end, and after a short flight across the Bass Strait we are back in Melbourne for a few days. What do you do in Melbourne on a Thursday afternoon?

We took a scenic route to Launceston today and it was scenic. That’s an understatement. It was spectacular. Vistas that I hope to remember for a long time. And the roads!
