Day 352 Mount Field Saturday 14th January 2012

Hi Folks,

A lazy day today. The walk we planned did not eventuate due to general inertia this morning. We have for some days been turning everything in the camper, car, roof bag etc etc upside down in an attempt to find Simons watch. Last seen at the side of the mattress 2 days ago at 8am. Many of you may remember the famous lost keys episode found in Simons mouth see day 48 25th August 2010. At this rate I might have to order an xray! It has been most frustrating as there are not many places the watch could be, hopefully we will find it when we pack to leave.

After our second cup of coffee, from our trusty mobile coffee machine, we did set off for a stroll along the disused railway track toward Maydena. Simon found some promising fishing spots which he will investigate next week when I am away. At this stage he has decided to stay put, do some of the more rugged walks and catch up on a spot of fishing.

At Maydena a couple of entrepreneurial fellows have set up a human powered rail riding business www.railtrackriders.com.au along the disused track, apparently these are popular in the USA and Europe, we didn’t get to try it but it does sound fun.

A busy night at the campground tonight with lots of children and a mini soccer match adjacent, resulting in a couple of bodies disappearing under our camper to retrieve the ball, alas no watch.

Simon is researching caravans as I type, the Borama make which is down the road a bit and looks like the taj on wheels is a no go as the business is apparently in receivership with lots of disgruntled owners.

Night All

PS Simon says, the leviathan caravan down the road was also $152k when new. However i am happy with our camper. Not quite as quick to set up and knock down as a van but more space, good off road and it is paid for!
