Thanks jules, have that spot in my sights as well as the golf club. Have look at all of your sites that you posted and attempting to use them when we can.

Sounds like you are all enjoying things so far I still have a bit of boat lag for some reason today but better tonight.

Hope your mum is over her boat journey too?

Hey Dougwe ,Didn't you have enough of the spirit going over there..Copper1,don't stand in front of him as you never know what he might bring up..Conversation of course....Mongrel..

Mmmm, not only there Rosie, the Distillery wants many $$$$$$$$$$$ just for one bottle of the good stuff too.

I'm just about to turn into tourist mode as I'm sure C1&2 already are.

 Yeah, I prefer to buy the good stuff from a local place; still more exxy than Mum's preferred tipple (Famous Grouse), but a very nice drop nonetheless, and a smidge cheaper than the Distillery.

That being said, my favourite distillery is still the Lark in Hobart - got mildly wobbly after a tasting session there one day - apparently testing liquers on an empty stomach gives you wonky knees

Who needs to pronounce............ just drink up !

Bob your picture fell over, or did you do that on purpose ?

 strange that it only happens on GN.

WHAT?! Oh that is such bs. The Makers Centre is woeful, utterly sad. Skip that then, and hit Ashgrove up. And Anvers on the way there.......... Chees & Chocolate, two of the main food groups..... Although mabe grab some whiskey on the way.........

Might do Ashgrove tomorrow Rosie. Just doing a few things locally around The Devonport region tomorrow.

 Highly recommend Anvers near Latrobe - their coffee, food AND chocolate are all good........ had a banana cake thing there, think it was a pie actually, and it was made with real bananas, not banana flavouring..........

I'll take 2 of those thanks Wombat - 1 for each hand!

Well folks have settled at Burnie for a few days with nice warm and sunny weather, not the Tassie weather I am used to . Anyway took a drive to Stanley and conquered, the nut, Via the chair lift we then stopped for fish and chips for lunch which, was very nice. After lunch took a drive to Smithton and then back through Wynyard. Tomorrow  will have a look around penguin and Burnies Whisky distillery.

On Thursday, will head towards Strahan with a free camp on the Hellyer river on the way.

Anyway folks stay safe out there and will catch you out there somewhere.
