Day 21. Launceston, Tasmania



There’s not a lot to say about Launceston. A few nice Art Deco buildings, some good restaurants and a couple of decent pubs. it's in one of these that we bump into a couple of kindred spirits - Rudi and Naomi, who are planning a world trip in an old VW combi that Rudi's been renovating for the past year.

He's bursting to show off his pride and joy, so after a couple of beers and a curry we're invited back to their place.

The van is indeed a thing of great beauty and all Rudi's hard work has obviously paid off handsomely. He's a talented lad, and later, we're treated to a jamming session involving guitar, ukulele and banjo. He also claims to be pretty handy with a didgeridoo.

Fortunately we're spared that.
