Gidday all,

Just one week left of our summertime in Tassie. Have spent the last week in a secluded spot away from everyone and everything in the mountains of Loongana, in the bush next to a lagoon.

Morning temps around eight degrees but warmer sunny days. Have seen evidence of wombats, rabbits, wallaby, and small trout in the lagoon, plenty of them too. Will hang about for a few more days then head up the road for the local bush fire brigade meeting on Sunday and catch up with some locals.
