Mersey National Park - Launceston

---

27^thDecember 2012.



Early start today as we were keen to visit King Soloman’s Cave. We had a guided tour through the cave, which was fascinating. This cave was much smaller than Jenolin Caves, but just as good. Well worth the visit. On route to Mole Creek, we stopped at the Honey Store, where we able to taste a variety of honey. Next stop, a fudge shop. Daniel could resist the chocolate explosion fudge, while Sasha chose the cappuccino fudge and Alyssa took to the strawberry fudge. On the road again and we came across a salmon farm, 41 Degrees South. We sampled a few and couldn’t resist the hot smoke salmon. We continued on our trip south to Launceston and arrived at the gorge. The view was fantastic but the water was too cold for a swim. We went for a walk and were fascinated by the natural scenes, so close to a city.
