You have settled into your home away from home at Middleton, in Southern Tasmania and you want to hit the city. Well, Hobart is only small but it is steeped in history (for Australia that is). It was settled in 1802http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/2008/09/hobart-highlights.html#comment-form

Granny was here

[Jun 4, 2011] Except for the lawyer from Lucerne, our fellow passengers have gone on a separate trek. Warwick seems interested in my Granny. "Why don't we fly down and take a look?"

Take a trip to Bruny Island

Just 10 minutes drive from Wavestation towards Hobart you will find the wonderful marina at Kettering. Moored are some of Tasmania's finest boats especially the huon pine motor sailers.
 You can catch the ferry from outside Mermaid Cafe. While you wait enjoy a latte or a quick meal, even maybe a scallop pie. The service is quick and a lovely way to spend a few minutes before you board the ferry for Bruny Island. On the way back you can pick up some fish and chips at the Ferry Road Store in Kettering on Ferry Road. The Oyster Cove Chandlery is interesting and has all the gear for yatchties.

ORANGE-BELLIED PARROT

Look out for the endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot ( Neophema Chrysogaster) breeding in South-West Tasmania at Melaleuca but migrating north, mostly to the north-west part of Tasmania and the southern Victorian coast but can be seen near Middleton. Save our parrot!
