Hi Everyone,
Today started in Railton where the intrepid travellers spent the night sleeping in semi upright positions in the pajero. Surprisingly we weren't stiff this morning and apparently I didn't snore. Two freight trains passed in the night as the parking spot is in the grounds of the old railway station.
We spent some time exploring Railton "The Topiary Town" after visiting the bakery for coffees.
After breakfast we drove towards Launceston where we called into the nearest Woolies petrol station and purchased supplies from the WW supermarket. We were more organised today and had decided our route and the location of tonights sleeping spot Lake Leake where we arrived early in the afternoon. One thing you have to love about Tasmania it is small! Lake Leake is a nice spot with a lot of shacks in a thin band along the lake.
It is trout fishing country and there was a competition here today. Being a weekend many shackholders are in evidence and appear to be trying to drink the inn up the road dry. We prepared our first tea of the trip and we are finally getting the rear of the car organised for easying cooking for overnight stops. I haven't mentioned the weather yet but it was a very pleasant 27C today although it has now clouded over with the possibility of some rain tomorrow. However 27 is much better than the 42 forecast for tomorrow hey Adelaideans. Pictures for today will follow so check back later. Anyway have to go and sit around the campfire and do some drinking and fib telling so must away ...
cheers Simon
