We spent some time at the Botanical Gardens in Hobart a few days ago. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, which cover an area of approximately 14 hectares, were established in Hobart in 1818 and are located within the Queens Domain. They are very beautiful and peaceful. The Gardens hold historic plant collections and a large number of significant trees, many dating back to the nineteenth century. We finished the day having lunch at one of our favourite restaurants, Maldini Italian Restaurant in Salamanca. Great food !!!!!

Last week we headed up to the Tasmanian highlands for a few days. Molly came with us for her first caravan trip and loved it. We had a beautiful time. Arthurs Lake and Great Lake are located on the Central Plateau of Tasmania, 1,034 metres above sea level. It is a popular trout fishing area. We look forward to returning in winter for the snow !!!!
