Mt William













Tassie continues to delight. The hottest we have experienced since we arrived is 25 degrees, which we thought wonderful, even though we were surrounded by Taswegians complaining of sunstroke. We have settled into a routine, working most mornings, but having the weekends for touring. Last weekend we went to Hobart, and Cecile dropped me off at Bellreive Oval where I watched the mighty Vics give the Tasmanian pretenders an inspiring lesson on how to be good losers. Cecile went to the Salamanca Market, and the Wooden Boat Show. This weekend we went north east to the Mount William National Park, which was created specifically to protect the endangered Forester Kangaroo. We did'nt see any. However, armed with crampons, pitons, belaying rope and oxygen, we did climb to the summit of Mount William. 216 of the hardest metres I have ever done. Another lesson learnt in Darwin is the daily picnic, and today we travelled to Meadstone Falls to consume our Pate and Avocado baguettes. Yum.
