Last day in Tasmania and it was -3 overnight. The grass was really crunchy but at least the wind was not blowing. After breakfast we headed back to Launceston to take back the van and then we headed towards The Promised land just past Sheffield. There is a place called Tasmazia. There was 8 mazes built around the village of Lower Crackpot. It was an amazing little village and the mazes where really great. some of them took some time to crack. Most of the mazes were made from Privot hedges that were well over head height. One maze was a balancing maze that you had to walk on. another was a cage maze that was made of wood. The other 6 were hedge mazes.
When you got to the edge of one maze there was quite a large village of all sorts of houses, etc, all made of concrete and painted. Someone had a great sense of humour as they wrote and named these odd houses.
After a few hours running around the mazes etc, we had some pancakes at the restuarant and then we headed back towards Devonport. On the way back there was a town called Nowhere Else. So we drove through the town just to see it. There really wasn't anything to see.
We eventually got to Devonport and lined up for the ferry back to the mainland. The ferry left Devonport around 7:30. We boarded and found our cabin then went downstairs for dinner.
After dinner we went to see the movie Nights at Rothendale. It was a rather sad movie. After the movie we headed to bed so we could be ready for the drive back to Brisbane.
We woke up around 5:00am, had some breakfast and we were able to get back in our car. We drove off the ferry around 7:20am. We then headed out of Melbourne before the traffic built up in the city and kept driving until we got to Coonabarabran where we stopped for the night.
Alex is hoping to be back in Walloon at lunchtime so it seems that we should be able to get there at this rate.
