Day 364 Bruny Island Thursday 26th January 2012

Hi Folks,
Happy Invasion Day! A restless nights sleep due to a rather fresh breeze rocking the canvas and rattling the zip pulls. We awoke not overly early and breakfasted making the camp a bit tidier after last nights blundering around in the darkness. We then went up the track from the camp site to the see Julie the owner of the property where we are camped.We had a convivial chat comparing travels and destinations. Julie has been to many more places than us and was eager to pass on information. After an hour we drove up the road to Dennes Point which is the largest community on the northern side of the island. The main purpose was to buy toilet paper which we managed and we also took the opportunity to have foccacias and a coffee at the  Dennes Point art gallery/general store/cafe/community hall.

We returned to Killora (our location) and called in to see Linda. We made some plans to attend a couple of local events and to do a bit of ladder work at her house. Returning to camp we pottered around. Susan sorting and reading while I fiddled with the solar. The lure of the oysters was too much and i ventured down to eat 3. If I am still alive tomorrow i will have some more.

Susan cooked up a nice chicken curry for tea with rice. As we were finishing Linda returned with some more news about a sustainable house for sale that we can view.
Tomorrow we are off on the Fluted Cape walk and a music evening at Luwanna,
Apart from the wind it has been very pleasant sitting here next to the water.

Oysters natural


Camp site with a flock of cormorants taking off

The trailer is level unfortunately the tent isn't and looks a bit demented
