We spent most of today in the van, traveling from Dover to Strahan where we will stay 2 nights to see something of the west coast. Our plan had been to get away at about 8:30 am but, thanks to most of us being ‘early to bed and early to rise’ types, we managed to beat that by about 30...

Today was a slow day for my camera. I managed just 15 photos compared to about 80 on each of the previous days since we arrived. That wasn’t that we didn’t have fun and see some interesting things but we did spend a lot of time in the car and saw less photogenic scenery than on previous days.

Majella’s plan was to get to Kettering in time for the 9:00 am ferry to Bruny Island. For that we needed to leave Hobart before...

Majella cooked what was left in the refrigerator and would not last for breakfast and we completed our last minute packing. Russel and Norma arrived at 7:30 am, transferred luggage, and parked their car. We picked up Michael and Maria from Dingles...
