31st July 2021 9 Mile Camp

After a restful night we set off for 9 mile camp, stopped at Nanutarra for an ice cream.
When we arrived at the camp area we took our time to set up then went for a long walk on the beach and around to where the boats get launched and moored to see what damage had been done by the excessive high tides in June

23rd January 2022 Lake Burbury

Leaving our camp today we decided to stop in Strahan for another pastie and coffee after stopping at the fishermans wharf first. When we had finished our snack we went for a drive and came across the people's park with a trail that led to holgarth falls. It was an easy walk along the creek where we kept looking for platypus, without any luck, but the bush was lush and peaceful. We then headed towards Queenstown the road windier but not too bad then the nerve racking part of up Gormanston Hill, that one is something else so many tight bends up a very steep bald hill I am glad we were going up not coming down. We continued on and decided to camp for the night at Lake Burbury, another nice camp spot, clean with good toilets. As the afternoon set in the weather got extremely hot so we went down to the boat ramp, which was a very long cement ramp, we went for a swim, the water was so warm it was the best way to finish the day.

When we left the next day we had planned on driving up through the channel and stay in Snug. We stopped ar Huonville for lunch on the river bank. The drive through to Snug was very pretty, we stayed in the Snug caravan park which was quite a nice one, the only down side was the fishy smell coming from the processing plant, Merv went for a swim I thought it was just too smelly. There was several nice walks we did before leaving After returning to the Neck we spent time with Paul getting wood and metal detecting, stayed with Anne for a couple of days on 2 seperate occasions, stayed at Paul's for Jackies birthday helped Colin cart wood. We went for a walk from Tasmans Arch to Waterfall Bay, there has been a very good trail made and new toilets at the Arch, there are great lookout points along the way to enjoy the coastal scenery. After the walk it was scallop pie and chips at the blowhole, chips were nice pie was 3rd grade, t...
