Caves and great scenery

Got up pretty early in Launceston and started driving towards the Marakoopa caves. It's just about 100 km drive so not too far. Came 2 hours too late yesterday, they already close at 16.30. Marakoopa means handsome in ancient aborigine  language and the caves WERE great! Never been to anything like this before. They were found about 100 years ago by a local guy who then later sold it to the Tasmanian government for a tourist attraction. It's really worth seeing, they are located in the town of Mole Creek. 

Early morning view of Launceston 
Temperature in the caves is quite low, make sure you wear enough clothes and not slippers







Driving in Tasmania is just amazing, scenery is amazing. It changes a lot from place to place
 


 Bicheon, a small town by the east cost. Also called the "tidiest city in Tasmania"


 The blowhole


Bicheon was probably the most beautiful city in Tasmania
  Fresh Tasmanian oysters @ the Horny Cray. Seriously could not come up with a better name?
 The views from Horny cray wann't bad....
And driving back to Hobart by the sea was amazing
