    Rainy day on the Tassie East coast.

    March 5, 2020 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

    Woke up and the van was in a massive puddle. Some big heavy rain which was due to last all day.
    Closest indoor place was Iron House, a brewery and distillery.
    So got a paddle of their beer and their gin. We tried the wine yesterday and it was nasty! Out of their 6 beers, none were particularly nice.
    After the 3 gins. Same story. All a bit like paint stripper. Maybe we should have gone for the cheese.
    Left after having a brownie and drove to a cellar door called Priory Ridge. Had an excellent tasting with an old lady, in a wooden shack and a wood burning stove.
    We purchased a bottle of their Chardonnay for the evening.
    Picked up some overpriced blue cheese and crackers from the farm shop in town then set off to find a camp spot in the bay of fires area.
    Got a spot right on the beach overlooking the crashing waves. Some big surf coming through.
    Had a sophisticated evening of french jazz, chardonnay and blue cheese. Magnifique.
