There weren't many malls in Launceston where we could shop. Perhaps we were not familiar where they are. There is a shopping street in the town central though. But after driving around a few times, we decided to give it a miss.
Our last destination before we depart Tasmania - Flea Market!
This flea market is held every Sunday at Evandale Market carpark.
Locals bring out their wares and produce to sell. It is good to get rid of old but useful things while generating some income.
These cutlery made of silver are exquisite and rare.
So are these care bears....haha!
Wife spotted some chinaware.
Wow! Bear series plates from Royal Doulton.
More chinaware inside the market.
This is a working slide projector which is probably an antique find.
This stall is for men...large timber men to be precise.
Let there be light, so I can browse the books.
Burger stand and flea market go hand-in-hand, a must!
Yup! Great sale, weather and food.
Wooden plaques of your favourite Australian Football Clubs.
Wife found her favourite indeed, a cat size heavy door stopper.
Instead, we ended at the harbour.
We came to this marina by chance after driving several rounds in the city central while looking for a parking.
This is like the most modern structure in Launceston that I could find. It is actually a hotel by the harbour.
I do not mind living in one of the bigger houses on the hill that overlook the river.
This marks the end of our 10 days holiday to Tasmania. Our previous holidays have been the bustling cities of Seoul and Tokyo. For a change, this get-away allowed us to slow down our pace and appreciate nature and its habitats. The beautiful country with unspoiled nature and beaches made the long drive worthwhile. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the trip. We did what we plan out in our itinerary by visiting the must-see places. But I will not return, at least not so soon. Who knows, one of those houses up the hill could be my retirement home one day.
And another travel trip awaiting....
