Gidday all,

The weather in Tassie is slowly changing, spring is springing and the sun is coming out more each day. We have had our young friend from Queensland over for a visit.

Went for a drive to Stanley on the northwest coast to see the nut, an old volcano plug with the pretty little town at the base. A wonderful sunny day when we started, but as we approached town the wind picked up and the sea mist started to roll in.

 

Was still a magical day with special views from the top of the nut, which you get to on a chair lift.

 

Back in the Myrtle Forrest again now. Will go to Launceston on Monday to drop our friend off at the airport .

Made our way from the coast of Tassie into the hills and climbed  the Loongana range on our way back to the Gingerbread house in the old Myrtle forest. Familiar feelings of peace and good times came back as we climbed the winding narrow track through the forest.

Arrived at the house and opened it up and inspected it for water damage and such. It was surprisingly in good condition, as no one had stayed there much since we had left.

Woke up one morning feeling a bit cold, looked out to see snow on the ground. Soon after snow started to fall and add to the stuff already on the truck. Just another great experience in this diverse country we are lucky enough to have.
