Last week in Tasmania.

At the most westerly point

Getting Artistic

Ned Flanders

The Nut at Stanley and we climbed it.


Our last blog entry was the day before the last family day and as you are having one next week I thought it was time for another.

So since leaving Hobart we spent time at Bicheno and St Helens on the east coast exploring the Freycenit peninsular and Bay of Fires, which were both very scenic.
From there we went to Low Head at the entrance of the Tamar river, spending a week there and exploring the Tamar valley, including Launceston. We went on to the north west coast staying at Penguin and Crayfish Creek, near Stanley. We did a circuit drive to the west coast seeing the most westerly point in Tassie at Arthur River, and returning via the Tarkine forest area. We are spending our last two weeks based at Longford which is a small country town in the central northern area. The area has lots of history with several old towns like Berrima. The park is nice and green and on the banks of the Macquarie river and has "Ned Flanders" as the manager as you will see in the photos.

We head back to the big island next Saturday, and Sue is hoping for a smooth crossing. We are all well and have enjoyed our visit. The weather has been mixed with some quite cool nights and a few rainy days but overall it has been good to us.
See you soon, love Chris, Sue & Olly.
