16/12/11 – Weaved our way into Melbourne quite easily, parked along Beach Road near the Port. Walked down Bay Street & the place was buzzing. If I was a SWF with some money I think I could live here. It was the hottest day yet for us.
Boarded the boat & settled in with a nice cold beer. Jade said it was the nicest hotel she had ever seen! The ride over wasn't to rough, it was just the sound of the boat moaning underneath that kept us awake most of the night. Jade was sick a little.
Very excited to arrive at Devonport. Stopped up the road to have some brekkie at a lovely little park and decided to head down to Launceston, back up to Scottsdale, Bridport then right to a free camp on Waterhouse Point. We passed acres of pretty white poppy fields grown for drugs(guarded by security). Saw some very old buildings reminding us of the UK. Driving down the last 2 klms of dirt road to where we were staying, was the worst we have travelled on yet, but we found a good spot & the scenery is beautiful. It is warm, but the wind, as usual is a bit chilly. No amenities here. Girls have made a friend & Digs is sleeping, as I don’t think he got much sleep either last night!
The car trips are getting a bit noisy but once we are out of the car everything is great! The weird music Ree gave us has made the car trip interesting too! Mike just grabbed a beer out of his fridge & it was empty! It has rubbed & made a hole. Mike not happy!
