Yes kids Possums do eat soap
Good evening from a very damp Mount Field National Park.
We finished packing and tidying our little cabin at Woodbridge this morning and were on the road by 1130 I think. As we were leaving Ann was returning with the new helpers so we were introduced. We fuelled at Wooolworths at Kingston and drove through Hobart to New Norfolk where we food shopped. It was then on to here arriving around 4 from memory.
We decided to do a full setup including the awning since we are going to be here for 7 nights. This was a fortunate decision in part guided by the weather forecast for rain this evening. It has been raining steadily for the last 3 hours. Our canvas seasoned by the Queensland tropics seems to be holding up well with no leaks apparent.
We had sausages and vegetables for tea. Cooked on the stove and the camping area BBQ. Tasty fare. We tidied our food away and hoisted the rubbish up a tent pole so the critters couldn't get it. The hopping critters couldn't but the possums were soon making a nuisance of themselves. Including one that managed to climb a tent pole to get to the rubbish bag. Another decided to eat the soap that I had left out. Anyway everything is now locked tightly away.
I spent some time talking to a couple with a nice Quantum off road camper. These caught my eye last year but oh so expensive at over $80k. I can but dream.
Speaking of dreams, bedtime. The rain is getting heavier!
Night folks
Cheers Simon
