Friday 6 February Hobart
Sunny and warm 24
We packed and set off for Tasmania Golf Course, we had to move the cars by 8am so an earlier start than what we had anticipated
. The course today would have to be one of the best in Tasmania, scenic with a lot of views over the river and undulating fairways with interesting holes made it a wonderful challenging day. Of course I won today, Dad did not have a good day and Chris hit the ball well but had just a couple of disappointing holes.
After golf and a light lunch at the club we checked into our Motel in Lauderdale about 15km from Hobart and set off for Cascade Brewery. We were not able to get onto a tour as the timing was all wrong but we did get do a tasting. They had a palate of 6, 3oz glasses with all 6 of their brews. As allocated driver I had a small taste and a coffee instead. The dark brew Stout seemed to be the favoured one.
We then went to the top of Mt Wellington, it is the most perfect day today next to no wind and warm. At the top of the Mt it was still 21C which is very high for the 1274m high Mt. We had a look at all the vantage points and I climbed the cairn with a bit of help as I was wearing sandals.
We returned to our Motel which is attached to a Hotel, very modern and adequate for 2 nights. We enjoyed dinner in the Hotel - very good food especially the Chocolate raspberry pudding.
One perfect day
