Miena

After a freezing night, it was still bitingly cold inside and out with water even freezing in the tap in the motorhome! I felt sorry for Bart while he tried to wind up the power cable and grey water hose to stow it again. It was covered in frost and freezing!

We then headed off on the last leg of our trip towards Hobart. We are going to take the road around the great lakes, one we've not done before. Our first stop was at Sheffield a super quaint little town with murals painted everywhere. We got out for a walk around to find an older man taking his alpaca for a walk down the main street 😄 he apparently did this every day.

We then continued on to Deloraine another lovely old town where we had lunch in an old pub before heading out around the lakes to Miena. Apparently you don't want to stop for the night between Deloraine and Miena because it's so cold! If we are being told by Tasmanians that you don't want to stop due to the cold there was no way we were!

On the way we stopped at Pine Lake walk which was lovely though freezing. Within 20m I was sorry I hadn't brought my gloves with me and something to breathe through. The air was almost too cold to breathe in directly. Then stopped again at the lookout over the big lake before continuing down the other side past Linawenee (the lady at the information centre in Deloraine said this was the coldest place in Tasmania!) to Miena where we parked up outside a hotel for the night 🤗 it may be a night for wearing a beanie to bed 😄🥶.Read more
