30 April 2018 4 May 2018
We returned back to Tasmania on 1-5 May 2018 and mainly visited the Freycinet National Park and Hobart.

We returned back to Tasmania on 1-5 May 2018 and mainly visited the Freycinet National Park and Hobart. Although I had sprained my left patellar tendon a few weeks prior to the trip, I was able to walk around without too much difficulty by the time we arrived at Tasmania (thank goodness). The trip was really enjoyable and we were very lucky because a week later Hobart was deluged by wild weather and strong rains and Macquarie St (where we stayed) was flooded!
