Overseas tour Day 130 – Evandale, Campbell Town, Hobart Airport

A quiet driving day back to Hobart airport.

After a nights stay at a free camp just outside of Evandale, we headed to a cafe in the centre for brekkie and coffee. It was a revisit to this picturesque Victorian village and one that Michelle announced she could happily live in.

The last run on the campervan trail

As we headed south down the Tassie M1, we stopped in Campbell Town for a quick shop and a wander around. The former garrison town, was renamed by Macquarie (former governor from NSW), adopting his wife’s maiden name. It has bricks along the Main Street detailing the names of former convict residents who were stationed there.

The church in the town was built by the convicts like that of other colonial buildings in the area.

The architectural 6060 structure in the town denotes the number of Tassie residents who have sadly died in accidents on the road over the last 100yrs.

After arriving back in Hobart, we dropped off the campervan after a weeks hire and returned to the airport for our last nights stay before our morning flight to Sydney.

We are staying a short distance from the terminal at the Travel Lodge. The return to a hotel room with a toilet, shower and tv, along with a large double bed feels a real treat.

Going to catch up with some Aussie tv viewing tonight, before tomorrow’s flights to Bali.
