    "Touring Australia, this stop is coming to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. Visit the Cascade Brewery, the oldest brewery in Australia, built in 1824 and rebuilt in 1927, because of the fire in the south, the fire to the brewery, and later rebuilt, so the castle-style brewery main entrance marked two years The current Cascade Brewery offers a variety of flavors of beer, juice drinks, and black beer made with selected wheat. There is a tour of the brewery here, but there is no weekend, I came that day is Sunday, so I can only taste the craft beer at my own expense. I am not a drinker, so I only bought a smallest cider to taste, about RMB 20 price, a glass is not big, using Tasmanian local apple juice to brew, clear and delicious, if it is hot, drink a glass of cold beer, It can be said to be a big thing. The restaurant is relatively large, one side is a counter selling a variety of craft beer, you can also order dinner or desserts, I heard that there are desserts made with beer, but I did not buy food, the other side is selling hot drinks. The side door of the restaurant pushes out is an old garden, the garden co-existed with the brewery, so it is also a historic garden with many plants planted inside, which can be said to be a mini botanical garden. There are many outdoor seats, Australians like to enjoy the sun outdoors, especially on weekends or after the afternoon shift, there will be many locals, three and three two come here to chat, this is the slow life of Australia."

    "Traveling to Australia, this stop is in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, and the historic site of Port Arthur is one of Hobart’s most famous attractions. The historic site of the Prison Church, which was previously an ancient prison building, shows the local prison environment of more than half a century ago, and the justice system in Tasmania. Visitors can see the former courtroom here, or follow the dim stairs to the cell to see the cell's environment. I took a map to visit, the map marked a lot of places, now we see only a ruin, although the court, cells and other places, but also erected a sign, you can use your fantasy to imagine the original picture at that time."
    Highlights: The Prison Church Historic Site is an attraction located in the urban area of Hobart. This is an old prison building that shows the local prison environment more than half a century ago and the judicial system in Tasmania at that time. Visitors can see the former courthouse inside, and can also follow the narrow and dim stairs to the cell, visit the environment of the cell, and even see the hanging instruments at that time. However, this scenic spot is a bit gloomy. It is said that ghosts can sometimes be seen here at night, so it has attracted many curious people to find out.
