2 lucky ducks on the road again

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...

Today we are voing to go down the Huon area and stay at Cockle Creek,  we were inside having a cuppa with Tanya and Colin before we left when Tanya noticed 2 deer on the lawn feeding, a stag and a spike, we watched for awhile then Tanya managed to sneak out and get a photo before they spooked and ran, apparently they have been coming back each day, on one occasion there was a doe with them and the spent 45minutes feeding and resting We made our way to Hobart stopping at Sorell for groceries and water, this trip is the first time across the Tasman bridge with the truck, me giving directions, Merv being a bit jumpy about my directions lol. Once we got onto the Southern Outlet belief came into driver about the navigator. The country side is so beautiful I had forgotten how lovely it was, when we arrived at Huonville we stopped near the river for lunch, great picnic area with lawns, tables, bbqs and public toilets, right beside a very picturesque river. The trip from there ...

The weather has been pretty good so one day we joined Paul and Jackie metal detecting at Marion Bay, we found a few 5 cent pieces nothing exciting,  Paul found a ring. Next day we took the detector down along the penguin beach Merv found $2. Paul wanted a hand with a tree he was cutting down the following day at Marion Bay, we met him there approximately 11 o'clock he had already cut the tree down and it had fallen into the blackberry so we had to tow it out and up the paddock, the truck didn't even notice it. When all that was done we went detecting again, Merv found a 50 cent and a 10 cent along with some 5s, I only found 5 cent pieces. After we left the paddock we decided to have a look at the beach and lagoon, there are toilets and a car park sinceI was las there. When we got onto the beach Merv wanted to walk to the other end of the beach to the narrows where the boats go out, it was a big walk after detecting all day,  Was glad of a glass of bubbles and dinner. ...
