    Camping is fun !!!!!!

    March 10 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Today was a new experience day for us - Robyn has at times labeled this as her worst nightmare. But here we are sitting across from a tiny table with no internet and people all around us and it's 9:00 - I think we should be drinking alcohol like our neighbors.
    We left our house in the countryside at around 9:30 and made it to Crusin and I dropped the car off.
    We loved our time at the Wombat Studio - lots of wild life in the mornings and especially at night.

    We got given the usual contractual stuff and then shown around the van. We felt it was pretty rushed.
    But we got going heading north to Coles Bay - our first camp.
    It was showery for most of the way.
    We stopped at Sorell, where there was the last supermarket for miles and stocked up. Had hamburger and chips at a nearby McDonald's.
    Arrived at Coles Bay motor camp at around 5 and given our park.
    Had a wee woopsie while backing into the park - being guided back by a helper I didn't hear him call me to stop and we hit a log bank. A bit of damage to a bumper - covered by our agreement, so no real damage. Must keep an eye out for those situations.
    Driving wasn't too difficult - but the roads up here are very narrow - I figured we had about 12/18 inches either side of the van.
    We've stowed away our gear and it's quite tidy, but it is small inside and we will need to be kind to each other.
    The weather forecast looks good for the next 3 to 5 days. Last night Hobart had its hottest over night temperature for 115 years.
