I'm not sure if it's still the same kind of deal as 20+ years ago when I went but the Cadbury Factory tour was probably the best I've ever been on.

You got to sample the off-cuts as you went through each section and the shop at the end sold incorrect weighted or poorly wrapped chocolates at crazy prices.

Sadly they stopped the factory tours in 2015.

I used to work at Cadbury Schweppes in Melb and believe me, walking through the shop every day you get sick of chocolate.

Luckily I've now recovered.

Cadbury is crap - they stick you in a room and you watch a video - and then they send you to the gift shop.

Hobart is one of those places that doesn't really have a lot for kids, unless they're old enough to appreciate history.

Take a trip to Richmond, there's a miniature village called Old Hobart Town and an old Gaol etc and the main street has a really cool Ole Lolly shoppe

I don't think you can even drive down to the Tahune AIr Walk, I reckon it's still closed from the fires.

There's a devil park just out of Richmond as well.

Cascade does good tours for big kids ;-)

When we went to the UK in 2016 ,we went to the original Cadbury factory just outside of Birmingham... it was awesome, the amount of free chocolate we got was incredible, plus tasting sections, a full tour, history of the company, make your own chocolates...

So good

Stuff that, I had my back waxed once. Arguably the most painful experience I’ve ever had.

Around the nipples is fun.

I done it for a fund raiser for my cricket club a few years ago, they auctioned off the wax strips, hurt like f*** when they went too slow, apart from bleeding nipples everything else was tolerable.
