Wayne and Tracy's Travels: December 2018

Friday, 21 December 2018

After Bruny, we headed to Cygnet. What a beautiful drive!!! Amazing little communities along the way, lots of local fruit, lots of pretty coves and farm land. Just beautiful.

Also lots of cheap camp spots along the edge of the water. Franklin is a particularly nice spot.

We went as far as Cockle Creek, pretty much the most southern part you can drive to. We didn't stay there (no spots left!!!), but we did stay behind Australia's most southern pub!!!

The weather is still on the chilly side which is unusual for us at Christmas time, but we are starting to have the odd nice day.

We are spending Christmas back at the Hobart Showgrounds. We were lucky to get a spot (out of 300 odd sites) and super lucky to get a spot close to some people we got on well with at Gordon Foreshore. Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

We spent a few more days exploring Hobart, and surrounds then we left the busy traffic of Hobart and headed south to a beautiful little seaside town, Gordon. The foreshore has been made available for campers and what a beautiful spot. We managed to get a spot right on the edge of the water and Wayne was able to get the boat in the water and enjoy a few days fishing. We also managed to catch up with some old friends and spent a lovely afternoon (apart from the wind) catching up and chatting and enjoying some nice wine and cheese!!!!

After Gordon, we headed overseas to Bruny Island. What a beautiful place. Very quiet and lots of little townships with fabulous beachfront properties (well, shacks, really). Bruny Island is now on our list of possible retirement places........

Next stop will be back on the 'mainland' of Tas heading further south to Southport, the most southern town on Tasmania.
