Working hard

Griffin park
Pumphouse Bay

Longford caravan park



The Hazards from Rivers and Rocks
On the way to Evandale we camped at Griffin park for three nights.A great site tucked away in a valley surrounded by pine forests.Unfortunately the rain put paid to the pennyfarthing races in Evandale,however we did have a good time looking around this historic town.From there we headed into the highlands and spent a few days at Arthurs Lake at the Pumphouse camp ground.While in the area we visited the Great Lake and Waddamana power station that was opened early last century and is now a museum.
Arriving back at Longford Chris headed back to Adelaide for six days for Declans first birthday and had a great time catching up with everyone.During her time away i took the Jeep into Launceston to get the radiator looked at as the car was continually overheating going uphill towing the van.$1260.00 later the problem has been solved,a 3/4 blocked radiator.Chris arrived back on the Monday evening and on the Thursday we left for the Freycinet Peninsular and back at the River and Rocks bush camp ground also catching up with another couple we met there a few weeks earlier.
For the last five weeks we have been at the Bicheno East caravan park where Chris has a job cleaning units and i have been working at the Freycinet Winery,grape picking and general work around the processing plant.I have been offered two months work pruning over May and June also.We hope to have our new Owen A van delivered early June which has an onsuite shower and toilet,much better than our current van.After June we will slowly make our way down the East coast towards Hobart.
