Today we spent 9 hours crossing the Bass straits from Devonport in Tasmania to Melbourne on mainland Australia. The crossing time past relatively quickly and it didn’t seem long before we could see the Melbourne CBD on the skyline.

From the ferry port it was a straightforward tramride to the apartment we have booked for 4 nights not far outside the city centre, which should do us nicely as a base for explorer Melbourne from.
