Nah not so lucky. We decamped at 8.30 to head firstly North past the sand dunes we had so much fun in yesterday and then East and inland. There was no way we were heading back up that road we travelled into Strachan! This exit was much less windy and hairpin turns and so we...

You cant walk 10 metre...

Tassie Trip 2015 Day 11 Hobart - MONA - Granada Tavern. Wow that 40 seasons in a single day just keeps on giving. The last 2 days have been a seesaw between cyclonic winds , ferocious rain and glorious sunshine and a combination of all 3 at the same time. This must be the only place where that can happen?
