Day 30 - 23/2/2014 – Beauty Point to Launceston
Even though we weren't moving far today we had to be up and on the
road early as I was doing the Hollybank Treetops adventure.
Ziplining through the forest. The tour started at 9am at Hollybank
so it was an early pack up to make sure that we could get there in
time for the start.
It was absolutely fantastic. It took close to 3 hours to go through
the induction and then around to all 6 “cloud stations” -
platforms in the trees at heights averaging about 30m above the
ground. The highest point being 50m above the valley floor as go from
one side of the valley to the other. The lengths of the zipline vary
from 15m to 400m. On the 400m length you can hit speeds of about
80kph!
And now for the photos and videos!!!
Unfortunately the instructor was the only one who was allowed to
have a GOPRO on, but here is what it looked like! Again here is a link to the page if you can't view the videos
After lunch at the Hollybank Adventure centre we headed to the van
park at Legana. It was one of the closest van parks that we could
find to Launceston. It backed right onto the West Tamer Highway.
The peace and tranquility of the last few stops was well and truly
gone. We spent the afternoon catching up on the boring domestic
duties, shopping washing etc etc.
