Well we said our fair wells to fellow campers in Devonport and headed off. Allan had to get his Hyundai attended to so went off to find the dealers and we headed to Ulverstone to find a caravan dealers to get a part. We detoured via Braddons Lookout to get a magnificent view of the whole north coast. Next thing we knew we were getting a phone call saying where are you, Allan and Maureen were already there and trying to find us. Ah he beauty of not having a plan, you can take any turn you like.
Couldn't get the part I want in Ulverstone, just sold the last one the day before and it would be a week before more would arrive.Spent most of the day in Ulverstone looking around and shopping and of course I found the local hobby shop and had a chat with the owner, the store was called Big Boys Toys which sounded appropriate. Nothing is very far apart down here so went went on to Penguin where a camp site was listed but it was full.
We pulled into a spot on the rugged coastline where a local retired farmer dropped in and advised us to move to the next point along the coast, a few hundred meters away where we could see the penguins come ashore. He dropped in later to just say gidday and invited us to see his rose garden next morning. The locals or so friendly, it's amazing. We managed to see the penguins but it was quite dark and would have been better with a full moon
Last night after we settled in for the night a group of back packers camped close by in tents and were a bit noisy and kept us awake, This morning they are freezing out side with strong cool winds while we are nice and cosy inside. Serves then right for disturbing us LOL
Not sure where we will head today but who cares
