Left Deloraine and really did not have to far to travel up to Devenport for our next stop prior to the boat but we did a huge round about trip going up and down different sides of the river. The weather was clearing slightly and we did some high mountains as they were in our way. A spot we did stop at was notifying us of an easy walk for 30 minute return to a gorge view. So yes we could do this - I lasted maybe 50m before having to go back to the car, the tra...

Left Scamander and headed across thru St Marys, a pretty looking town, and then towards Ross where we stopped for coffee. What a delightful town, old but beautiful and the most amazing bakery, wish we could have bought wood fired bread but are on Motel accommodation from now. We did partake of a famous vanilla slice which gave our Gladysdale (Yarra Valley) bakery favourite a run for its money. We had to stop for some road works at one point and I took the sho...

Rain, rain and more rain overnight and then woke to this morning. Hmmm not able to go up on the forest trails in the mountains, oh dear how sad, thank goodness they looked hairy.

Monday - we awoke to a cloudy miserable day but we were just doing driving so wasn't too bad. Unfortunately we had to leave our lovely accommodation at Ridgeway but time is marching on and we need to head north. Left Hobart, for a 230km drive, by 9 and headed up towards Triabunna again and then further on where our host Andrew had advised ice cream at Coles Bay and then great fish'n'chips at Bicheno and you know when you say ice cream to Wally he will find it ...

Another two days of glorious sunshine and warmth for mid March. Yesterday we spent time getting to Salamanca markets because someone thought he could park close to the markets...hah as if...so eventually we parked in city car park for $6 for the day and walked. We did not buy anything except food, my goodness where was my brain, oh yes I remember I had my dearest one with me so we all know how that is. Anyway we had a wallaby burrito, very nice and then tempur...
