I would love to try a scallop pie.

I'm sure we can arrange that cookie. :)

Thank you.

We have had an amazing trip to beautiful Tassie so far.
We stayed 4 nights at The Clarion in Launceston ( a historical old Dame, with our room on the top floor and no lift!) from here we explored St Helens, St Mary's , Ben Lomond, Deloraine, Evandale and Burnie and more.
We then went to Bicheno for one night and did the wineglass beach cruise, spending 20 minutes enjoying the playful humpback whale.
We spent 4 nights in a quaint cottage( pooh cottage) in Bothwell, exploring the Great Lakes and surrounds. It was set on 1/2 acre with a creek running at the back.
We are in Strahen ( last night tonight) having spent 4 nights, we thoroughly enjoyed the Gordon River cruise, Cradle mountain was amazing- Tassie does the short walk so well- love all the boardwalks , the train trip in the wilderness carriage was great and with bubbles on arrival and food presented all the way, very enjoyable. 
We have caught a glimpse of 2 platypus, seen 4 wombats and 2 echidnas and our whale of course.
No idea where we are going for the next 2 nights, I guess at a push we could sleep in our Passat!
Anyway thanks for all your ideas and so looking forward to our last week in Hobart with you all.
Denise

Sounds like we've been doing similar things Denise.

We stayed 3 nights just outside of Launceston at George Town and we travelled around quite a bit to lots of small towns, as well as checking out Launceston. We then stayed a night in a wood cabin at Cradle Mountain which was lovely. The high light was a night time Tassie Devil feeding tour. Cradle Mountain national park was lovely and I surprised myself making it around Dove lake.

Strachan has been great too. We are heading to Huonville, Port Arthur then onto Hobart.
