Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen led the first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911. On his return from Antarctica, Amundsen anchored off Hobart where he was to send a telegram with the big news. He booked a room at Hadley’s Orient Hotel, and today visitors can stay in the very same room, known as the Amunden Suite!
Once upon a time, the Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston was a Victorian school. Remnants of time gone by and original fixtures are still present for guests to soak in history. One can just imagine games of cricket being played on the then school grounds, or students gathering in the Big School Room for an assembly, which is now home to the brasserie!

Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania.
Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle.
Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection.
A huge thank you from both of us.
