Arrived late afternoon flying into Tas was a little emotional! for one it reminded me a little of home! then when i was waiting to collect my baggage i saw a dog outside jumping up and down really exited, greeting his owner! so me being me i had a few tears i had to struggle to stop them! weeelllll! i had`t slept properly for 2 days.
i`m staying in a hostel in central Launceston! yeah a lovely cornish name, right on the river side, my bedroom window overlooks the river! On the first night i went for a stroll along the river and stopped at a posh fish and chip shop that also sold beer, great there i was on the river bank ( river Tamer!!) gulping beer down and eating the best fish and chips ever (strange named fish except for the sqid i can`t remember) with black swans, with they vibrant red beak`s sqauking for some food, with real posh yachts moored up beside the quay!

today i have been rock climbing and absaling in the Hillwood region of launceston, absailing down 150ft cliff rocks and climbing up 50ft rocks australin graded 14 and 15! my arms and fingers are killing me we had to walk through the bush to get there seeing wanabees and the sound of the cookaborrows were amazing. my guide Bob has been all over the world climbing we were swapping story`s of the arseholes we`ve met ha ha.
