Hi all,
Just wound our way down from Waratah to Corinna back close
to the west coast. Sitting next to the Reece dam, with a hydro power station at
its base. Woke up this morning with a dense mist over the water. Will make our
way down to Zeehan, probably with a few detours along the way.
Crossed the Pieman river by the barge, it can carry 6ton,
lucky we weigh 5 ton as it’s the only way to cross. Was a fire not far away and
could see helicopters water bombing it over the river, but they assured us it
was heading the other way. Anyway we made it.
Saturday arvo, can see smoke plume in the distance over the
hill, next thing, a chopper came over the hill and hovered over the lake
dipping it’s bucket into the water, filled up and headed off again.
Sunday morning, fire in the distance seems to have died out,
clear sky all around. Will hang about today and maybe move on tomorrow. No
service here maybe further on.
magic. what a beautiful isle,your home looks great.gilly.
