Since we picked up our Oasis Van we have not stopped. Our highlights in Tassie for the 2 months would include the East and Northern coasts.

(Preview)
Well, finally, after waiting a week, the springs have been refitted to the van and we are now on our own tyres instead of 4 jacks. The step is quite a bit higher so the springs must be doing their job. Our hip pocket is several hundred $s lighter so that must be good for towing the van!! So our 'free camping' n...
