Catching the boat to Australia

Said goodbye to Bente and McFart in the morning. Left Hobart and headed north for a short visit to Cradle mountain National park.

Turned out to be a long drive - on gravel roads for some parts of the trip. Arrived in Cradle Mountain National park with just enough time to do a 1 hour walk at lake Dove. Very beautiful. Wished we had had 3-4 days there to do a lot of hiking. Headed for Devonport later in the afternoon.

Left car in Devonport and got on the boat to Melbourne. Nice evening with lots of sunshine and a bit of wind.
Local fire brigade had their annual Christmas parade before we left.
Nice cabin at the boat. Had a couple of glasses of red wine before passing out in bed.
