We arrived back in Hobart just in time for New Years Eve.  The drive from Cradle Mountain to Hobart doesn't appear that far on thump but many of the roads were winding mountain roads so the drive took a little over 4 hours.  

The Sydney to Hobart boat race had just arrived a few days earlier and the city was buzzing with people from all over the world.  We were lucky enough to find a table at a seafood restaurant called Fish Frenzy near the waterfront and had an awesome New Years Eve dinner of Oysters, Calamari, Blue eyed fish and of course some delicious Tasmanian wine.  The lines for everything were so insane that Kingsley wisely ordered us two sets of drinks and we had a nice leisurely dinner looking out over the harbor watching the sun slowly set.  A few hours later we were one of the first in the world to ring in the New Year 2016.
