I think the photo is a little deceptive and things may have changed there a bit, but it was a fun place for the kids.
I couldn't bare the strong chlorine in the place and didn't go again, but dh took the kids a few times. They would've ONLY gone there each day and been happy!

I adored this place. Fortunately the weather was fine, but I think I still would have enjoyed it if it was raining.
The tulips were fantastic and the gardens superb.

Notes
It was snowing a blizzard when we went up. You could not see any views and no one was going to try either. I stayed in the car and took photos of the kids freezing to death outside!
Would have gone up again on a fine day except that my ears REALLY hurt (and Su's)from the height change and I didn't want to suffer that again.
Will take something to chew on next time.

Need to go there two days in a row - which is included in entry fee.
And probably better on weekend or school hols when there may be more there for children.
We got there late and didn't have time to see our money's worth.

Notes
It was pouring with rain and freezing cold but we went nevertheless.
Plastic raincoats helped to keep dry but were noisy and uncomfortable.
The falls were huge, and there was a lot of spray filling in the spots between the rain drops!
Susannah got a leech on her - fortunately removed it before it started sucking.
Nanna lost her hearing aid but, thank God, someone found it and handed it in.

Port Arthur was too far away from where we were staying. Next time (if there is one) we will stay in Sorrell or closer to Port Arthur so that we can visit the Historic Site on two consecutive days.
I adored the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens - great timing being there in Spring for the Tulip Festival.
Next time (if there is one) we might do a road trip down to Melbourne, catch the ferry and travel around the island spending 3-4 days at each place.
Tasmania is a beautiful place.
