From North Bruny Island. We are currently "bush" camped on a property adjacent the sea. We arrived on dusk and it was dark by the time we had established a habitable tent. It's a bit breezy but we are well tied down.
We awoke this morning at Mount Field under cloudy skies and a very heavy dew on the canvas. We packed in a very leisurely fashion and our reward was the sun coming out and drying everything nicely. By the time we had packed and showered it was 3pm. We drove to New Norfolk and shopped for groceries and then on to Hobart and back down the Channel Highway to Kettering. We were about 4 cars too far back in the queue to catch the immediately departing ferry so had a 45 minute wait.
We arrived on the island after 7 and journeyed to Linda's house at Kilora on the northern end of the Island. Linda is a friend of another lady Lin we met at Nubeena who was supposed to meet us here but has had a change of plans. Linda actually had tea for us when we arrived which was very welcome. After some short pleasantries she led us down the road to her friend Julie's property where we are now camped on the foreshore. True bush camping no facilities. The ground is pretty dry as i found when i had to dig a hole in the dark tonight. We will have to be careful with energy consumption since we will be relying on solar and running the car. I don't know what we are going to do about bathing but it's not too hot here so we should be able to miss a few days of showers.
Ok that's it for the day. Great pictures of tonight's sunset are courtesy of Susan.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
