12 Mar 10 - Spirit of Tasmania

By Craig: It felt like no sooner had we got to Tassie than we were leaving. We quickly remembered the routine of loading us onto the boat and packing us in like sardines. We departed Devonport and set course north across Bass Strait.
Tassie certainly deserved longer, unfortunately 4 weeks is all we had. But we certainly know of many places we would return to see. I enjoyed the day trip better than the night crossing, lots to do and see, making the 9 hours go very quickly. Before we realised, we were crossing the heads of Port Phillip Bay and heading back into the big smoke of Melbourne. As we pulled into our destination Station Pier Port Melbourne the sun was setting for the day, just as it was setting on the end of our trip to Tassie.



By Lou: Had a fantastic day trip on the ferry crossing from Devonport to Melbourne. The Strait was dead flat, it was sunny and there was heaps to do during the 9 hour crossing. We saw two movies in the cinema and there were children’s activities throughout the day including face painting, badge making and story telling. We all dashed outside at a certain hour to watch the other Spirit of Tasmania pass by.
