What a beautiful island Tasmania is! We did not have to go far from Hobart on a two-day trip to find the most superb scenery. We set off on a fine day but the wind was strong and gusty and we had some doubts about the stability of the Winnebago. No worries, though, it was as sturdy as a rock. We went largely off the beaten track and it was so scenic. We did our first "free camping" night - i.e. not in an organised campsite but in a space available to caravans and camper vans. We met some lovely people and shared our space with quantities of ducks, black swans, gulls and many others.

| Our echidna, unfortunately being shy about showing his face |
The icing on the cake came today when we caught up with an echidna crossing the road just ahead of us. He posed on the verge for a photo. Then to our delight and amazement as we drove along a forest track, along came a Tasmanian devil, loping towards us. We stopped the van and watched him as he trotted along in our direction before disappearing into the long grass. As nature lovers we were thrilled.

Here he is! Not terribly clear but we were lucky to get him at all.

Back now at Karen's with wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. It is such a hard life this!
