We awoke at Strathgordon to torrential rain and erchhy grey skies so different to yesterday when the temp got to 28 and I was sunburnt, oh well it has been good whilst it lasted. Left our cabin and drove for about 2 hours to Hamilton for a disgusting coffee, why can't people get it right when trying to run a business in a small really tiny village and we try to spend our tourist dollar with them and they serve garbage. Anyway continued on towards Hobart going t...

Yesterday did a drive to the dams, Serpentine, Gordon and Franklin, not far from here but spent a lovely couple of hours exploring, truly beautiful. The Gordon is down as it runs into the Franklin but still majestic scenery in the wilderness out here. Surely they have not explored every spot in these hundreds of kilometres of mountains. The Franklin Dam damn it is huge and powerful looking. Wally did the climb down to walk upon the wall and some great photos...

We headed towards Hamilton and then turned west again on our way to Strathgordon. Went thru lovely county that was filled with acres of hop vines growing up the struts and in full flower, also raspberries and blackberry fields abundantly ready for eating but we refrained. Stoppe...

We packed up and did an unusual 8:30 departure as we wanted to do into the village to get fresh bread and then some shopping prior to leaving Strahan. In Banjo's Bakery and they just happened to have tastings of hot cross buns and we had sworn allegiance to the Easter bunny and said we would not buy any until Easter. Oh my goodness thes...

What a lovely day just cruising the river and harbour in Strahan. This town has 300 days of rain a year but we were exceptionally lucky with a beautiful one. Sailed out thru Macquarie Harbour heading towards Macquarie Heads to Hells Gate so called by the convicts as it was their chance of life before being confined to Sarah Island for the term of their natural lives. Last time we were here there was no way we could get out thru the boiling cauldron of water at...
