Hi Folks,
From beautiful Freycinet. An interesting day. We packed up this morning in no great hurry since we only had 10 km to travel and a nominal 11am check in.
We did some planning with pen and paper and a tape to work out how best to align the camper in the tight powered space and made sure we knew which side of the trailer the camper comes off. We didn't want any more Laurel and Hardy moments. We had to push the camper into position which included running it up onto the garden bed. As you can see from the pictures we used all the space width wise. The ground was pretty hard so we scrounged some granite rocks to hold the ropes and put our storage boxes inside on the floor to act as internal pegs. Despite the closeness of the neighbours i am sure judging by tonight the main annoyance will be the possums. I have had my blackwood stick out and commenced the reducation campaign.
After setting up camp we went 100 metres down the track and had our first open water swim in Tasmania. The water was quite pleasant and the backdrop stunning.
Before and after tea i resumed my repair of the spreader pole for the awning. I put a bit more thought into it this time so fingers crossed i will give it a try tomorrow.
The weather improved from a concrete sky to glorious sunshine by mid afternoon and more is on the way. Tomorrow we will do the scenic walk so there should be some good pictures tomorrow night.
