Four weeks ago we left the Latrobe area and headed East along the top part of Tasmania.Our first stop was in the Waterhouse Point area for four nights.A conservation park with many free camp sites avaliable,all walking distance from the beach.The fishing there was reasonable and the weather good.From there it was a one night stop over at Tommahawk caravan park and then we made our way South East to Weldborough where the local hotel offers campsites for $20.00 per night with warm showers,definately better than the 20L solar shower hanging from the shower tent in the middle of the bush.While there we drove around the area visiting Ralph falls on Mt Victoria and Halls falls,which were stunning,in the Blue Tier mountain range.
For the last three weeks have again been free camping at Swimcart beach,12km North of St Helens on the East coast.Another fantastic spot well worth the visit.With really good fishing off the beach and in Grant's lagoon we have had so many fish meals and the freezer is stocked too.
We are now slowly making our way to Evandale for the Penny farthing races on this weekend (18-19th Feb) via Lagoons beach and St Marys.
