We departed from Melbourne and would be putting into the port of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania after a day at sea.įrom Hobart, we traveled by bus to the Tasmanian Devil UnZoo and on to Port Arthur, the site of one of the original Penal Colonies.īut before reaching Tasmania, we celebrated New Year’s Eve!!! Tasmania is mostly volcanic – and beautiful. Separated from the mainland during the last ice age about 10,000 years ago. Tasmania is an island state of Australia. In this article, I’ll be sharing an unexpected New Year’s Eve treat, the absolutely amazing UnZoo, the penal colony at Port Arthur and a stunning drive along the Tasmanian coastline.Īnd of course, because it’s me, we had a crisis. It also meant that we would spend New Year’s Eve someplace very unique? For us, the free airfare made the trip affordable and our adult children were incredibly flexible.

Clearly, lots of people hesitate to be gone for the holidays and Viking wanted to fill the cabins.

We discussed this with family members first, but the kids are grown and the cruise line, Viking, included free airfare, but on just this one departure date. This trip was very different from past journeys, in part because we traveled over the holidays. You can read part one about my adventures in Sydney, outside Melbourne and in the Blue Mountains of Australia, here.
