Nov 6, 2009 - Tassie

So rather than hang around and get familiar with Hobart, the State Capital city where we were docked, we took an excursion to the Bonarong Wildlife Park. ... Bonarong is within about 30 miles of downtown Hobart and the ride out there gave us the opportunity to view the countryside and the mountains that surround it. ... Although we did not have time to visit, there is a Cadbury Chocolate factory here in Hobart. ...

Well – we spent an entertaining 45 minutes or so listening before going for a light lunch at ‘Barcelona’ at Salamanca Square, nice and lots of atmosphere. ...
