Tasmania

After spending two roasting days and nights in Melbourne it was good to head across Bass Strait on Friday Jan 30th, with the temperature much more comfortable when we arrived in Devonport. Spent the first two days at Latrobe and visited the sights in the local area including acres of poppy fields. They are really protective of their "flowers" here !!

Drove down the middle towards Hobart as we had arranged to meet friends who were flying in for the wooden boats festival there. Stayed two nights in historic Richmond and then found a nice park at Seven Mile Beach 20 klm from Hobart where we have spent the last week. We have spent some tome at the Hobart waterfront watching the boats and doing the Salamanca markets.

Lynne & Roger took us out on the Derwent today on their 32 foot Riviera which was very posh.

Sue and Oly are welll and we are really enjoying the cool nights under the doona and we've been wearing a jumper with our shorts for the first time since the UK !!

Attached a few photos of the sights so far.

Hope you had a good family day at the Warren View without us. love, Sue Chris & Olly.
