As the WBBL wraps up its stint in the Apple Isle and prepares to shift back to the mainland, the WBBL players have spent time exploring all that Launceston has to offer.

Amid a jam-packed schedule which featured games less than 24 hours apart, players like Mignon du Preez used their rare days off to explore the tourist side of Northern Tasmania.

The South African veteran is no stranger to Australia having previously been a mainstay with the Melbourne Stars before she made the move south in the off-season.

"I had a day off [on Thursday] ... and got to see some beautiful wineries that was fantastic," she said on Friday.

"It's been amazing, it's been a bit cold with the wind and the rain outside, it's a bit freezing but it's been fantastic.

"I really love it, it's a beautiful country and that's been awesome to get to see a different side, I've been to Melbourne quite a few times but to get to explore Tassie [has been good]."

One of those youngsters keeping du Preez and co on their toes is Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, who also signed with the Hurricanes in the off-season.

The 18-year-old sensation has been one of the Hurricanes best performed players in this tournament striking 138 runs at 19.71 in her first WBBL campaign.

While Tasmania is half a world away from the bustling streets of West Bengal, Ghosh said she had enjoyed her time in Tasmanian conditions.

"I love this conditions because the ball comes onto my bat so I love this," she said.

Tasmania Tigers regular Sam Bates swaps her dark green for the lighter shade of Thunder green in the WBBL season.

The spinner may have found herself thrust into the role of advice giver as her Sydney teammates adjusted to the cooler Tasmanian climate in the past few weeks.

"It's been good, I've actually lived in Tassie for two years so I am pretty used to this weather," she said.

"I think some of the girls especially out internationals probably aren't a fan of this weather but it's still great that we get to have some cricket on especially with the year that we've had."

After hosting the first 24 games between Launceston and Hobart, the competition now shifts to Western Australia and South Australia to complete the rest of the regular season.
