Day 131: Devonport to Hobart

Posted on 26 October 2025 by Olivia

Today we woke up at 5:45am to get off the ferry around 6:00am. The first thing we did was drive to a cafe to meet the Sharmans (some of our friends) and Oma for breakfast. I got pancakes with banana, strawberries, and maple syrup. The playground nearby had a really fun piece of equipment where you hold on and go in a circle with your feet off the ground.

Then we stopped at the chocolate factory in Latrobe were Dad and Theo played chess in the caravan and we got hot chocolates for everyone (apart from Theo who got a Good Apple juice).

Next we drove to Launceston to drop Theo off for his chess comp tomorrow. He is staying with Vincent. Then we drove home. On the way we stopped in Campbell Town for lunch and I got Banjos! At home Mum and Dad parked the caravan and I unpacked my stuff. We are finally home!!!

Day 1: Ulverstone to Devonport

Posted on 18 June 2025 by Mum

This morning we had a last visit from Oma and Opa at our camp site before we headed over to Devonport to board the Spirit of Tasmania ferry for our night voyage across the Bass Straight.

This was the first time any of us have slept in one of the Spirit cabins on a crossing. The kids had a great time exploring the ship, though once they found the video game room they did not get much further... Eventually we made it to bed and lucked out with a very calm crossing.
