Facilities : Really nicely presented & well maintained. GREAT camp kitchen with a spectacular burning hot fire place (when Tom's around to stoke it that is).
It was almost over. We were almost at the end of one of the most exciting parts of the entire trip. Our final night in Tasmania was spent in Latrobe, a lovely town just 10 minutes drive to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry port. How could it have possibly flown by so quickly? We decided we needed to go out with a bang. We needed to spend our final night in Tasmania celebrating this beautiful state. We figured, what better way than feasting and drinking it's finest... so we made tracks to the shops and purchased ourselves some fresh Tasmanian Salmon fillets with the skin on (my favourite) and 3 long necks (tallies) of James Boag's Draught and 3 long necks of Cascade Draught (I did say we were going out with a bang).
After 5 weeks on this island, we never actually took a moment to discover which of its iconic beers we preferred. So, we had a "beer off". And of course, you need do a lot of experimenting in order finalise the outcome.
This resulted in a undecided conclusion. Tom prefers Cascade and I prefer Boags. This also resulted in getting extremely happy, sitting around the campfire with fellow campers (whose names we will never know) and sharing stories of our experiences in Tasmania. Somehow XXXX got thrown into the mix thanks to Jess & Dave's late night stop at the bottle-o. It was a great send off for us for our final night in Tassie... as I was stumbling into bed at midnight (that's a late night for campers!!) I dreaded the thought of once again clambering on to the Spirit of Tas with a thick head.. AGAIN! This time, there was without a doubt, absolutely, definitely NO WAY we were sitting on the 10th floor!!

(you'd want to hope so considering it cost the equivalent to 4 meals in our budget!)
Looking at the map of Tassie, we really were comfortable with the fact that we really had given it a fair crack! :)

I can't believe no one has commented on the "map of Tassie" reference. I must be the only one who still has the mind of a 12 year old girl!!
