Visiting again.

Another overnight trip, leaving 7.30pm from Station Pier and arriving around 5am in Devonport after a hopefully smooth voyage. Drive to Westbury for breakfast at Andy's Bakery and then further along the Bass Highway to Launceston. Proceed through the city, watching for one-way streets and trying not to miss the poorly-signposted turn off to Scottsdale. Then head up into the mountains through Targa, Scottsdale and Derby to arrive in Weldborough before lunch time. The worst part of the trip is ... trying to sleep on that boat. The best part is ... getting there!

There are only a few plans for the trip including: looking for gemstones, servicing the bike and keeping warm. We'll visit all the usual eating establishments and travel those twisting mountain roads. There's a ghost town that I'd like to see, if the road is passable, and also the myrtle forest sounds like an interesting experience. Return home on Sunday week.
