and I’m getting all excited! I’m leaving for Tassie on Wednesday so that’ll give me enough time to post things home, and get everything in order before the trip. This time I’m travelling with Eveline, the Dutch gal I met in Sydney on my last week there. She has been here about a week doing […]

I did a night tour of the Jail last night. it was pretty spooky! You can also do sleepovers too. The guide, dressed in period hangman’s clothing, takes you on a candlelight tour of the jail, recalling stories of the most famous inmates and gives you a glimpse into life in a gaol around the […]
