    Did some grocery shopping, went to the Post Office & dump point.
    Rained on and off today.
    Tomorrow we plan on doing the Scottsdale Op shops!!
    Haven't found the platypus here yet. We actually left a day early as the logging trucks ran past all night!

    The Rocks on the beach are a little similar to Lockhart River, one a bit like Mango Rock.

    Tried to camp a The Blue Wren for old times sake but we drove in and rang them but no answer. It looked fairly run-down so that was disappointing as we loved it there last time.

    Last night in Tassie.
    Had a little problem at the laundromat today. I put in a $50 note to get coin (that is all we had) and got $21 back. Go figure, no phone number to contact anyone, luckily a local came in and said a contact worked next door.
    About 3/4 an hour later she turned up and actually gave us $4 for the dryer as well as. How nice was that.
    A lovely sunset for our last night here.

    Very wet here, but we were welcomed by a Bassian Thrush & several White-browed Scrubwrens!! As well as the traditional Superb Fairywrens.
    We even put the awning up first time this trip!!
    The birds enjoyed the awning, so that was a positive thing.
    I fed them with desiccated coconut as everything was soooo wet.
