With a couple of friends, fly to Hobart, arriving mid-late morning.
Pick up a hire car and head to MONA (about 20 minutes from airport) for a tour and lunch.
After lunch drive to New Norfolk (about 25 minutes) and pick up groceries from a well stocked Woolworths.
Then head to Hamilton (about 25 minutes) admiring cherry orchards and sheep country on the way.
On arrival, settle in, relax and spend time wandering the gardens before enjoying a late afternoon aperitivo (or two..)
After dinner, enjoy an evening watching the latest films and shows on Netflix, Stan, Binge or browse the extensive
library of books on gardens, interior design and numerous biographies.
After dark remember to head outside and see the most amazing star lit sky.
