Warm
night – no blanket but a bit cooler this morning, well 20 degrees. The heavy
clouds still hanging around till 10. Chatted with our neighbours who we had
previously met at Hellyer Gorge up near Burnie. Great to catch up with them
again to hear what they have been up to. They went to Bruny together yesterday
and did the Bruny Cruise. They said it was amazing and saw two whales, seals
and the dolphins were swimming beside the boat.
Got
our chairs and sat chatting the morning away then had lunch together too.
Showed the ladies little things we have done to the van etc and all about my
blog. They are keen to start their own. Exchanged emails and phone numbers. One
lady is Glenda Delaforce and I thought, I know that name. Wendy’s friend has
the same name but I can’t remember if she was a Fry or married a Fry. Will have
to check facebook. This Glenda said she sometimes gets Cairns Glenda’s emails.
She also ran into a Glenda Delaforce in a bank in north NSW. How amazing.
Shirlee
and Rob (from Toowoomba) are heading home so we all said goodbye. They offered
for us to call in and stay if we are in the area. Might be a while but will
definitely catch up with them someday.
Alan
& Bev, Noel & Glenda headed off to a winery and a sheep cheese place. I
got the washing going then made some pikelets for us. Steve went for a drive to
get some more water as there is only a water tank here. Unfortunately this
whole area only has water tanks so will have to find water somewhere else. We
have enough for another week so all good.
Lovely
day, just t-shirt and shorts which was lovely. Had a drink with another Qld
couple, Leanne & Rick, who did the Bruny Island Cruise today. Said it was
freezing down the bottom around the Friars. The wind has come up now and is
getting cool as we sit right beside the water looking across to Bruny. The
others have come back so went over to have a drink with them. The sheep cheese
was different but ok. Showed them on their map some of the places we saw and
stayed at near Great Lake etc.
Getting
colder now so into the van to warm up and cook dinner.
Ducked
out to take this lovely photo of the full moon over the Channel.
