Our first trip

For our first trip, we decided to take a short journey inland. The views were magnificent.

We headed off to Deloraine, then over to Mole Creek and back down to Wesley Vale via Devonport.

Veiw of Mt Roland and Lake Barrington (international rowing course).

View from Round Mountain Scenic Lookout.

Our first stop - Wesley Vale (Northern Tas)

We set up our first camp on a friend's property at Wesley Vale (near Devonport).

The dogs are enjoying the new experience. They have been chasing rabbits, albeit not too successfully, and enjoying a whole new range of scents and places to explore.

Tasmania - here we come

The trip to Tasmania was very smooth and uneventful.

We had dinner in the restaurant then went to the lounge/bar and had a 'night-cap' while listening to some music. A very enjoyable experience for us - although I don't think our dogs were overly happy about their accommodation down in the garage deck.

Our Australian Tour Begins

After five years of planning, the long awaited tour of Australian has finally begun - 22 February 2009.

Our neighbours (friends) decided to give us a bit of a send off. They thought the small note on the caravan added a bit of excitment to the day.

Now off to catch the ferry (Spirit of Tasmania).
