Day 3 - Launceston Rocks!

Today was a quieter day in downtown Launceston. A chance to take in some of the local architecture and the city's shopping area. The girls decided to pamper themselves at the local Spa and Beauty Centre called Aquarius Roman Baths

The main activy of the day was a visit to J Boag & Son Brewery where we joined a brewery tour (a full circuit of our brewery from the brewhouse to the packaging line) and tasting back at the Boag’s Centre for Beer Lovers (just across the street and housed in the historic Tamar Hotel which dates from the 1830’s).

Now that I've done the tour I'd like to be able to enlighten you as to just who is James Boag.


unfortunately . . . . I am none the wiser
