Happy Australia Day:) Unfortunately we won't be celebrating much because we are travelling to Tasmania today!
The view of the West Coast of Australia
During the flight we were trying to figure out how to get to Launceston on Tasmania. We were suppose to fly to Launceston but something went wrong during the internet booking and the plane took us to Hobart (about 200 km's south of Launceston)!

We decided to rent a small Nissan and go on a road trip to Launceston!
I was the driver! The left side was a challenge but everything went fine:)

This is not a car commercial (I know it looks like it!)
On our way we made a stop in Oatlands, a historic village on Tasmania with the largest collection of sandstone Georgian buildings in Australia. Colonialists first started settling at Oatlands in the 1820's, a decade before the founding of Melbourne! Today, the township of Oatlands, with a population of approximately 600, continues to be the rural service centre of the Southern Midlands.
