2010, a wednesday
hobart, tasmania! first a bus tour through the countryside. tasmania is the largest hops-growing area in the southern hemisphere so we saw a lot of hops. at mt. field national park we walked through the quiet, mossy forest to russell falls, then i continued uphill to the falls overlook and horseshoe falls. we saw a lot of huge eucalypt trees and a surprising number of cute little rufus wallabies! one hopped out right in front of me. we then drove to meadowbank, a sheep farm and vineyard that is only open to princess cruise groups. we watched a sheep muster and saw the shearing of a merino sheep, then had a wine tasting and a homemade lunch. we bought some wine then continued on to bonorong, a wildlife park. kangaroos were everywhere and quite tame. I got to pet a kangaroo, a 17 year old koala and a little wombat. on the ship we went to aunt linnea’s for a little pre-dinner party. we had dinner then saw the musical show in the theater.
