Exams are over Expedition.

After a week of exams (one from 9-12 every morning) Ollie was ready for a break, and so was I! Luckily we still had Ruth's car, so we made a plan to get out of town. Starting off with brunch at Campbell town we headed over to the East coast. We'd had a week of mostly sunny weather in Launceston with only one day of rain, and had obviously been living in our own little world as we hadn't realised how much rain they had been having on the East coast. Turned out we were lucky to get through as the road had been closed for a while....we could see why!

We had a look round Coles Bay, and Bicheno. It was a pretty wet day, though despite the crashing waves on the beach it wasn't so windy.

From there we headed up to St Mary's where we braved getting out of the care - to run into a cafe for lunch! We then followed the coast up to St Helen's and then as far along the Bay of Fires as we could go - including Binalong Bay.

The East Coast is supposed to be one of the most stunning parts of Tasmania....shame about the torrential rain when we visited - I bet with the sun shining on the water it would have definitely had the Wow factor. Hopefully we will get a chance to explore this part of Tassie again - in the sunshine preferably so we can get out and walk along the beaches. Was just what we needed though - to get out of town, and have a change of scenery!!

Our next adventure is a trip to NZ to visit friends and family, and for Ollie to say hi to his Boat!
