While in Tasmania, my stay centered around the city of Launceston. Alissa lives in a small town about 20 minutes down the road. Launceston is where she works, as well as where she got married and did her wedding planning. Her parents rented a cottage in the city for their time there, so that was our center of wedding planning operations.
Launceston is a gorgeous old city. The top photo shows a portion of the city, including the post office building (where the clock tower sticks up). It is also home to Boag's brewery, Launceston's finest beer. The city is situated along a river and includes a beautiful river gorge area, of which I unfortunately didn't get any pictures.
The city park was between the cottage and downtown, so we walked through it many times. It was very green and pretty (it was summer when I was there). The park includes an arboretum, fountains (above) and .... monkeys! The monkey exhibit is similar to that of a zoo, but there is only one "cage" with one type of monkey.
