Day 357 Mount Field NP Thursday 19th January 2012

Hi folks,
Short blog tonight. Mainly because i didn't do much today. In between that last sentence and this next one i have done the scare the possum thing. Makes them jump and run when you bang the tent roof under their feet!
This morning I breakfasted leisurely and chatted with the neighbours while they packed. I then completed a job that has been on the to do list for a while. Establishing the backup for Susan's laptop using Synctoy. This is a one button solution for the the user who is always too busy to back up their precious data but who would be devastated if it were lost. It took longer than I expected as i had to do the job twice. Plus it takes a long time to transfer that many gigabytes of information. Anyway it is done now so some peace of mind. I also took the opportunity to sync all my data. At one stage i had all three laptops running in the tent.
The rest of the day was spent doing various little chores plus some more chatting to new neighbours. When you arrive at a new tourist spot you know very little and once you have been there for a week or so you can sound like an expert. Note i said "sound like" not "be".  It's always good to have an exchange of information about things to see and do and avoid. Amongst todays subjects were, walks, platypus,  possums,  potable water,  camper trailers and fishing.
The weather is looking good for tomorrow, it was sunny today but a bit breezy.  The plan tomorrow is to be up early and up the hill to do the Mount Field West walk. 8-9 hours return which will be a good work out!
As to where to next week. It will probably be over to Bruny Island for a few days then maybe somewhere else for a little while before heading back to Woodbridge as we have volunteered to do one Salamanca market for Ann in early February.

night folks

Cheers Simon

PS for those that have missed Susan is in Anna Bay, NSW until Sunday.
