Day 4 - Devonport to Hobart

It's only a short distance through farming country to Launceston where a transfer is required for the journey to Hobart. We travel along the historic Midland Highway, passing numerous colonial inns and quaint villages including Bagdad, Oatlands and Campbelltown. We make a stop in Ross, where you'll see Australia's oldest convict built bridge and have the opportunity to purchase lunch (at own expense). We will also see the infamous Ross Bakery, which is legendary in Japan and those in the 'know' will be in search of Kiki the witch!
