We left early today with the intention of having breakfast on the road. We had hoped to find a suitable picnic area or lookout but we didn't find any. Tasmania seems lacking in rest areas and the few we did find were unwelcoming or full of murderers cars! (see MSO game from previous blog). We stopped off on the way at Hamilton to get some bread. It was all very hillbilly and local so we got our bread quickly and got out of there. The scenery on this drive was inc...

We had a lovely snug night. It was quite chilly this morning and we had our fleeces on first thing. We left Snug after breakfast. We were heading towards the Mount Field National Park and we had to drive back through Hobart. We started playing a game driving through called MSO. This stands for Murderer, Simpleton, Okay! We have noticed that the people of Tasmania are not as friendly as on the mainland and look quite scary. The murderers all drive utes like maniac...

We are about halfway round Tasmania now and will be heading north again soon. Before that we decided to go for a drive south of Hobart.

Our laundry bag has been piling up for weeks and is now seriously overflowing. Jay has run out of knickers and I'm almost out of trolleys. We are at crisis level! We filled two machines with all ...

We got up at about 3 for a wee and shuffled over to the amenities block. Both fully relieved we took a short cut on the way back and I walked into what I thought was a picnic table!! All of a sudden I was stopped by my leg hitting something hard.This wasn't expected and gave me a bit of a shock. I hobbled to the side a bit and suddenly I triggered a bloody great big bright as daylight security light. It was too late now. Why the hell hadn't it come on earlier! An...
