Gidday all,

Wound our way across to Launceston and found a parts place that stocked what I needed for the spring repairs. There was a Salvos store next door hwo had new inner spring mattresses going cheap, so we bit the bullet and got one for our bed. Left our old foam one with them and headed back to Devonport. Did some more looking about, then off to find a camp for the night.

Our friends just south of Loongana offered to help with repairs to the truck springs, so next day headed up and did them. All went very smoothly and now all’s good as new.

 

Fire meeting on Sunday, so up the range to the fire shed we went. Was good to catch up with the locals we had met on our previous trips and a couple of new ones. The duck seemed to enjoy herself too. Had a few beers and camped at the fire shed that night, great time had by all.

Up to Sandy’s next day and she stocked us up with salad and veggies from her garden as well as fresh eggs, great fresh local produce, love Tassie food.

We plan to head to the west coast and tour about till just before the school holidays start, then back up to our camp site on the Loongana range and hide from the holiday crowds. Well, that’s the plan so far.
