Launceston - Festavale

Friday, Feb. 13

Today we parted company with Mike and Jan http://themikejancolandsalbigtrip.blogspot.com/. Sally, Lee, Johno and I were returning to Launceston in order to catch the Festivale before Lee and Johno headed to Hobart for Valentines day and then on the plane back to Cairns. We stopped outside Evandale, near Launceston, to call into the Gourmet Sauce Factory to try their wares and weren’t disappointed leaving with a supply of yummy stuff.

From there we drove straight to the Cataract Gorge in Launceston for lunch. John and Lee chair lifted across and Sally and I walked over the swinging bridge to meet them.

And in the evening, it was off to the first night of the Launceston Festivale.
