Drive to Hobart
Depending on time visit Tasmania Archives Office
http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/
Deliver Bear to the airport so he can fly home.
Hopefully stay in a motel with a net connection, so I can raid :)
Tuesday
Visit Port Arthur resource center, I'm exchanging emails with a guy who works in the archives there.

Check out the two buildings I'm interested in while I'm there.
Tasmania Archives Office if time.
Wednesday
Tasmania Archives Office
Cascades Female Factory.

Fly home.
I've booked the plane tickets and hired a car. I've booked a hotel in Hobart for Monday and Tuesday night, what is there to do in Hobart in the evening :) Nigel has to arrange accomodation in Launceston. Nigel is going to ask relatives, but if they have a full house, I'll be asking Liz and Nigel :)
Rhys is going to spoil the cats and pick up a key this evening.
I'm frantically emailing all sorts of researchers to make appointments to talk.
This is gonna be a little hectic.
Need to pack Talkie Box (better known to the uninitiated as a GPS).
