Well Covid continues to play havoc with our travelling plans. Not only are we prevented from travelling overseas, but a 3 day lockdown in Hobart saw us forced to cancel our planned trip south.

Fortunately the cycling division of the MG Car Club, yes I know, also has a further sub division of caravan enthusiasts, yes I know even more weird ! So we invited ourselves along to their north west coast jaunt

So after loading the dogs, and an assortment of clothes, it is spring in Tassie, we headed north. Joining 2 caravans at Frankfort’s Blue Barn for morning tea, we enjoyed the scenic drive from Ulverstone to Sulphur Creek along the coast. A quick stop at the 3 sisters nature reserve for the dogs, then back on the main highway to Wynyard. By 3 we were all settled in, 4 caravans and 1 motorhome. Although a small caravan park it’s right on the beachfront, and has loads of walks for the dogs.

Unfortunately there’s been a lot of air/sea activity around the area. A small boat has been missing for a day, and 2 bodies were recovered as we were setting up. 1 person is still missing, so there will be more patrols tomorrow. It was a slightly subdued group tonight, and with the wind howling we’ve retreated to our van. Everybody has their bikes, so it’s off cycling, weather permitting.
