Big Trip

For a couple of months end 2019, we had our "BigTrip" down under to see Tom's brother, Bill in Tasmania.

 Bill lent us his little van and a couple of bikes, so we did a wonderful circuit of Tasmania (dodging wild weather) camping out much of the time. Australian style wild camping is a bit more organised than we're used to, but still very nice!

 We managed to hire a sit-on kayak to explore some of the Pieman River on the edge of the Tarkine wilderness area of NW Tasmania. 


  Much of this beautiful wilderness area is being destroyed by open cast mining and logging.
 Save the Tarkine are campaining to get it world heritage protection and deserve supporting
