One of my favourite memories here was watching the big ships arrive and depart. It was fun to skip across the Mersey River in the Spirit of Devonport ferry knowing I would eventually be boarding its big sister the Spirit of Tasmania.

While in Devonport I visited the Bass Strait Maritime museum and the Tasmanian Arboretum and had a couple of interesting day trips out to Stanley and the Narawntapu National Park at Bakers Beach.

Boarding the Spirit of Tasmania, driving deep into the bowels of the boat!
