Arrived at the capital of North Tasmania, Launcestone, which has a lovely position on the banks of the Tamar River. Stopped at Devonport on.the way over and visited the former home of Joe Lyons, former prime minister of the commonwealth. His wife, Enid lived there until 1982 and did all the decorating herself. Although not the paper mache model of Joe, that was done by local schoolchildren. The Tamar valley has some wonderful views and some history. George Town was the third settlement of Australia, after Sydney and Hobart.
