To Tasmania

First, some photos (not in much order):

We have escaped. We were given a surprisingly lovely send off by our workmates, Charlotte especially made an impression on the ladies. One even rang last night because she didn't get chance to say goodbye to us last week, and she told Charlotte what a lovely couple we were.

They gave us a little present too, some onions and a few Mannum souvenirs. It was quite unexpected but very nice of them.

We're now in Mt. Gambier in the south east of South Australia. It's a nice place, built on an old volcanic area so there are huge craters around, some making beautiful little lakes. We've booked the ferry over to Tasmania for Monday evening and will be purchasing sea-sickness tablets between now and then as the crossing is apparently very rough. In the meantime we'll have a gentle cruise along the great ocean road and enjoy this part of Australia for the second and last time.

When we return, we'll be dashing back across to the west and then north to the middle to see some big rock and lots of desert.
