Tasmania - Day 2 - Mona, Cascade Brewery, Mt Wellington

 Our second day in Tasmania was another full one.

We spent a couple of hours at the MONA museum, self described as old art, new art, wine, restaurants, dark corners, nice views, music. It was a cool experience, definitely worth a visit. Having a car made such a difference in being able to explore different places so easily.

We then drove to the Cascade Brewery for lunch and a tasting.

The original brewery is currently getting renovated but the tours and tastings are still running.

Simon loved their stout.

After lunch, as we were close to Mt Wellington we decided to drive up to the lookout. The winding roads up the mountain are scenic and the view from the top is stunning. The temperature really dropped once at the peak and the wind was wild. We were grateful for our jackets!

Another lovely day that ended with cocktails at Evolve and dinner.

Day 3 to come...

Easter 2026

 We had the most relaxed Easter weekend. Amazing weather, food, a visit to the Easter Show, Urbnsurf and of course lots of chocolate!

Some photos from our long weekend ...

Staycation

 Simon and I had a little staycation the other day.  We had such a lovely time!

We started the day using some vouchers we got for Christmas at Gillian Adams Spa. Time in the  aquamedic pool and a massage was the perfect way to start our staycation.

We then headed into the city and scored an upgrade to a suite at The Intercontinental. Such a fab location and the view from our room was amazing!!

We had the sunshine for most of the day but a storm rolled in as we had cocktails at Aster on the 32nd floor of the hotel. We enjoyed the light show!

We then walked to dinner at The Meat & Wine Co. 

We loved the food and the moody vibe in the outside area.

Thanks to a late check out we enjoyed a sleep in, a delicious buffet breakfast before heading over to the Art Gallery of NSW to check out the Ron Mueck exhibition.

We loved it and couldn't get over the realism of the sculptures! So good!

We wandered around the rest of the gallery before heading home.

It's amazing how restorative a night away can be. Definitely something to schedule more often x
