CHAPTER seventeen

Bikes, snow and walks

Melbourne to Hobart

We take the overnight ferry to Devonport and stay with friends at Jackeys Marsh. Then it’s on to Launceston for a few days, before travelling the winding Tasman Highway to the coastal town of St Helens. We visit Freycinet and Maria Island National Parks as we bus down the coast to Hobart.
