Day 345 Woodbridge Saturday 7th January 2012

Hi folks,

Our day off today. We started with 30 minutes of helping Alby put the trestles out for the market tomorrow in the hall.

I decided that instead of flogging all the way down to the southern most end of the road to do a walk that didn't make it into the walk book we would go to Pelverata Falls which is a lot closer and was in the walk book.

The day was warm and cloudy with little wind. The walk was mainly uphill travelling to the falls.

It was relatively easy with a rocky section to test those with sore knees at the end. The flowers pictured right were from some spindly shrubs or small trees. Very fragrant and as yet unidentified. We had lunch at the falls and returned back to the car. The water flow over the falls was small due to the small catchment. It is better when it is raining!

There were other people on the walk all travelling faster than the old people.

To celebrate our exercise we stopped up the Margate train for a plate of pancakes ice cream and cream each. Mine with bananas and caramel and Susan with mixed berries.

We returned to Woodbridge and after a short drive around the back streets spent the rest of the day/evening relaxing. Ann prepared a delicious roast lamb and vegetable tea which we thoroughly enjoyed.


The picture at right is a bottle brush growing on the boundary of the property. More rounded leaves than you normally find on them.

Anyway bedtime. A warmish humid night with the promise of much rain tomorrow to facilitate our packing and sorting of all our valuable travelling chattels.

Ann is making enquiries tomorrow bout us doing a short helpex on Bruny Island when Susan returns. Either the cheese factory or the pig farm!

Night folks

Cheers Simon
