Scottsdale Tas.
(Preview)
Only 30kms to get to Scottsdale but took a detour to Ledgerwood to see the carvings. A row of memorial trees were planted to honour the fallen from the 1st world war but by the early 90s they were considered a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles and ordered to be cut down. After a huge uproar it was decided t...

Only 60kms between St Helens and Derby but across the ranges, had been told about the Pub in the Paddock and the Cheese Factory but drove straight past still worrying about the water leak and if it had been fixed.

Freycinet National Park

Left Lagoons Beach early and made Bicheno the first stop, water was needed and groceries from IGA. Had a look at the blowhole but the sea was calm and had only small blows. Lovely area around the blowhole with rocks similar to the Bay of Fires with their red tones. All up a short trip of no more than 70kms. H...

Bay of Fires near St Helens
(Preview)
We left Rivers & Rocks and drove to St Helens and I have to say the trip between Bicheno and St Helens on the Tasman Highway has the most beautiful beach scenery. Not spectacular as some but almost every twist and turn brings the ocean into stunning view. Scamander is a fine example of a small seaside...

What's happened?

It's very quiet on here at the moment. Is everybody still recovering from Christmas excesses?

But i...

Christmas and New Year at Lagoons Beach 30kms north of Bicheno Tas.

We were going into Freycinet National Park but decided to go past and secure a good site for Xmas and the New Year. The locals seem to set up caravans in good locations at free beaches and leave them unattended until their holidays arrive. As it happens there are plenty of sites available but better safe...
