We both woke up this morning covered in mozzie bites, particularly Jay. The little *******s just seem to love our blood. The mozzies on Tasmania seem to be more vicious and in bigger numbers than on the main land. Two of them got flattened with a book but a couple of them we just couldn't get and they were buzzing around all night, annoying the **** out of us. The ones we did squash splattered loads of blood everywhere, our blood! It was like a Hammer Horror film...

When we got up this morning the cattle truck had gone. As we were up late we decided to have breakfast on the road. We stopped at the IGA supermarket first to stock up and then went to the Blowhole which was at Bicheno. We found a spot at the side of the road overlooking the blowing area and had a lovely breakfast. After brekky we wandered down onto the rocks and got up close to the action. This was a magnificent blowhole, an awesome sight. The water came through...

The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks nearby was very soothing and we both slept well except for needing wees at about 3am. All this noise of water both got us going it would seem. We couldn't be bothered walking through the dark with a torch to the pit toilets so I peed up against a tree and Jay peed in a bush. She was a bit worried about a snake biting her bum but she was okay. She's really enjoying and getting into roughing it on these sites. What ...

We got up early today as we were doing a fairly long drive to Bay of Fires. We left the camp site at about 8 and went to Woolworths to get some petrol. We then hit the road out of Launceston, a very winding road through forests and open countryside over to St Helens and the Bay of Fires. It was only about 170 kilometres but took a long time. The road had hair pin bends and hugged the hillside quite precariously in places. We just took our time and admired the ama...

We got up late again today. This idyllic lifestyle is just so tiring, all this sun, sea, sand and stuff! We left Greens Beach and headed towards Launceston which is Tasmania's second biggest city. We stopped at a picnic area on the way for breakfast. It was getting very hot today, 30 degrees. After brekky which was kind of like lunch now as it was gone midday, we drove into Launceston. It's a small but very nice city. On the way in we stopped for some food shoppi...
