On our last day in Launcaston we decided on a walking tour of the city. It is an attractive city with a mix of beautiful parks, churches and historic buildings. One of the historical features includes a functioning umbrella shop built in the 1860's.
One of the parks is home to a live monkey habitat which was a gift to the city from a sister city in Japan. We saw evidence of lots of green space formerly used as parade grounds for the military but now used for the quiet enjoyment of the Tasmanian people. Our Fitbits said that we had our 10,000 steps before lunch time.
Launceston is home to the famous James Boag Brewery (at least famous in Australia). We visited the brewery and of course they offered beer tasting...for those of our group over 18. Have I told you that we are all over 18?
