Our final day at Spring Beach saw a visit to a pop up bookshop at Triabana, followed by a river walk for the dogs. We then drove to an lookout with amazing views over all the bays, islands and passages.

Then onto Spring Bay distillery, with some pretty good gin ! Whilst the dogs had an afternoon nap I fitted in another bike ride, along the coast looking at Maria Island. We have loved our Easter break with friends.

After yesterday’s heat, it reached 32 degrees ! and warm night, things have cooled down.

Dale and I started the day off with a ride around Orford in his freshly restored Pale Primrose Jaguar E type. He’s done a lovely job 👍

After morning tea on the deck we took the dogs for a walk around the river, with its stunning views to Maria Island. Despite Rosie getting a grass seed stuck in her paw, skilfully removed by H, they really enjoyed it and are both snoring soundly after a cheesy lunch. We will attempt to FaceTime WA this afternoon, whilst tonight we will meet up with some fellow Jaguar owners for drinks, nibbles and then dinner out. A wonderfull way to spend Easter.

We had a gentle start to the day, packing up and then making our way to our friends near Orford. I had forgotten about the steep gravel drive but we made it to the top of the road and have levelled up Joey…

This afternoon I managed a bike ride back to Orford, along a coastal path, Shelley Beach and return. It was good to stretch the legs.

Tomorrow we are off to a vineyard, Rosie and Cooper have a lovely lounge to stay, and behave in……..

Taking advantage of our first free motorhome service in Hobart we have decided to spend Easter on the road. We free camped along the road at Kempton so our next day servicing was done by midday at A&K Caravans. Then over Grasstree Hill Road to Richmond and a caravan park. Seeing our dogs we were given a lovely open grassed site.

Today we walked into town and the the bridge, the oldest in Australia. It’s a lovely Georgian town, with beautiful sandstone buildings.

By now the dogs were flagging, they have only got little legs and Cooper was feeling hot. Time for a coffee, cake and water bowls all round.

The onto the bridge, stunning and not too many people around, so good for pics. It’s supposed to be 29 degrees today, it’s certainly humid, so we’ve headed back and the dogs have crashed.

The caravan park is filling up, it’s going to be busy over Easter, but we have a cunning plan……our friends Dale and Gale have a beachfront property near Orford, so we will be heading that way tomorrow !
