This trip in 1998 combined travel in the Bonanza, with a tour round Tasmania in a mobile home. We began by flying out of Camden, in mid-January, down to Healesville Cottages, in the Lilydale area of Victoria (flight time 3 hours and 10 mins). 

In the Healesville area,  we visited the local Healesville Animal Sanctuary which houses an abundance of wildlife and great educational programs (especially the 'bird flyover').

While in the Lilydale area, we ventured around some of the local wineries and picnic areas, and then further afield to Melbourne to catch up with a few friends.

Travelling over Bass Strait, we had to carry life jackets.

From Lilydale, we flew (2 hours 10 mins) on to Launceston.
