Maureen and her little grey Nissan were the first to get bogged.
Yes, that’s Flo… I managed to be bogged leaving the next morning. Thanks to a team effort I got out.
Beautiful Tasman coastline.
The good weather continues for our visit to Port Arthur.
We did the cruise from Port Arthur that took us around Dead Man’s Island.

The Friday 13th Scary themed day was brought forward a day due to forcast of rain. The bus and driver also got in the mood. The weather was perfect for sightseeing and the many walks.

Deep water in the bay, in the distance is a cruise ship. I wonder if it is a P&O liner,I heard on the news today that P&O were having their ships return to their home Port and ceasing operations for 2 months because of the COVID-19 virus.
Remarkable Cave
The Arch
Coffee break, the coffee van did a good business.
Ruins of the coal mine operations where the convicts from Port Arthur worked.
The remains of the mine.
Back where we are staying, Whites Beach. Rollers going for a paddle.
Sunset on the beach.

What a difference a day makes. Raining and windy today. It’s a free day today so time to catch up.

The Pear Farm and veggie barn not far from where we are staying. They had a food van there for us if we wanted a hamburger or bacon and roll. I chose the later.
More gum blossoms to add to my photo collection. Tassie ones this time.

On to Bruny Island, didn’t stop in Hobart but came through to Kettering to catch the ferry across to Bruny Island.

Bus trip around the Island for the day.
The beach across the road from our CP.
Amazing orange lichen.
The swan family.

Catching the ferry back to the mainland tomorrow then on to Dover for a few days.

Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
