After the breakfast in the apartment, we have our last tour in Hobart and it was the Cadbury Factory Tour. The tour is quite informative and it costed AUD$15@.  The tour took around 1.5 hours and we've proceeded to different stages in making the chocolate.  From filling the mold to packaging. 

After the factory tour, we continued to drive to Launceston. On the way, we've visited the Ross Town.  Ross is an historic town in the Midlands of the state of Tasmania in Australia. Situated on the Macquarie River, Ross is located 78 km south of Launceston and 117 km north of Hobart. The town is listed on the Register of the National Estate and is noted for its historic bridge, original sandstone buildings and convict history.  In such wonderful historic place, we have our lunch (picnic) there.

Afterward, we continued our journey to Launceston.  We've stayed at Rosevears Retreat at Rosevear on 16 Jan 2008. This apartment was inside a vineyard and the view was fantastic at day time.  At that night, we've bought something in supermarket and have a BBQ dinner.  It was a fantastic experience that we could have BBQ when having a traveling trip.
