Overnight a really strong wind came through around 4am. I was sure someone was walking around the camp, but no it was just the wind.

Day 7 – Beresford Siding to Mt Dare
Early Start, Like the moonrise last night we get to see the sunrise over these dead flat plains.
We hit the Road by 8, but we take a quick detour to look at the dam that’s here. No idea where it’s getting is water from.

A slow start as today should just be a half day excursion.
A wonderful sunrise in the campsite over the ridge, and I take an early morning walk along the nearby creek, while small scale, the rock face gorge is amazing.
Continue reading “Day 5 – Brachina Gorge”Day 4 – Skytrek
A damn cold night last night, and as we didn’t have the swags under the awning, they are covered in dew this morning. It’s hard to find the motivation to get out of the nice warm sleeping bag, but needs must.
Continue reading “Day 4 – Skytrek”Day 3 – Berri to Flinders Ranges
A much warmer night last night, not really cold at all.
We get away a little earlier today. We travel the back way into Berri, via the Ferry, such a nice way to start the drive today.

While crisp, it was a great night’s sleep.

2nd June 2023
Another boy’s weekend camping trip. Not far this time, just up at Burralow Creek near Kurrajong. So about 1 and a half hours away.
I pick up Liam up from school at the start of his afternoon break at 1:40, a maths lesson lost, but he can handle that. I’ve got the car packed and after he gets changed we’re on the road just before 2.

A fresh, but nice sunny morning. At 7° I might need to put the heater on for 30mins or so tomorrow if it’s this cool again.
A relaxed start. We get out the portable solar panel to give the power system a bit of a boost. I’d like to camp as much as we can before the van parks have to start at Port Arthur.
Continue reading “Day 3 – Tamar Day Trip”Day 2 – Sydney/Devonport to Launceston
A patchy sleep and after stirring several times, I wake at around 1ish and it surprisingly a lot calmer.
4:30 comes and the alarm goes off. I can see the lights of the Tasmanian coast through the window. Showered, and as the boat docks I get ready for the 5:30 disembarkment. Our deck gets called first and we head down to the vehicles. I’m a bit surprised when the crew guy points to me first to drive off. Dark and misty, I nervously navigate my way off the ship.
