Stanley and Smithton

Walking back to the van this morning heard a russle in the underbrush.  Thought it would just be a lizard.  Was a... pademelon...I think...might have been a wallaby.  Managed to get Suzie to get some photos as I didn't have my phone on me. Super cute, and not bothered by our presents at all

Long drive to The Nut at Stanley.  Caught the chair lift up.  Beautiful scenery.  Very windy. Learnt about the moonbirds and a little about the Aboriginal people of the area.  (And the terrible things the settlers did to them.) Fuck the Europeans were horrible.

Then the drive to Smithton where we're camped tonight.  Lovely spot on the river.  A family of ducks came to visit us at the van.  Begging for food I think. Bought homemade blackberry jam from the caravan reception. One for us...one for Mum and Dad.Read more
