Launceston, Take Two

My last day in Tasmania was spent back in Launceston.

I went to the local museum, looked at some art and explored the old blacksmith workshop, which was still in use until the 1990s. There was also a theater showing old government videos. One of the videos was to record the beauty of a small lake in the middle of the mountains before it was to be flooded and destroyed for the creation of another dam. The government recognized the area was unique and paid for this film to be made, but for some reason it didn't seem worth saving the actual lake.

There really wasn't anything left that seemed necessary to see so I spent the day wandering around town and drawing at a cafe.
