Ross
Ross has the oldest bridge build by our convict forefathers, from there travelled to Oatlands Free camped at Callington Mill lakeside for the night, our very first taste of not having to pay for accommodation.
Oaklands nice when we arrived but in the morning 1degre below 0 hence the fog
Back on the Road
Next day Hamilton, again free camped ( no cost)
Then on to Franklin where we are now and have been since Wednesday, the drive has been great with astonishing scenery, very winding roads along the way, and this is the pattern everywhere. We decided to test our self’s and see what this free camping is all about and it is great, here at Franklin the camp, one has to pay a small amount for upkeep you can leave your caravan and it is as safe as can be.

Our Front door viewNow that we are in Franklin we are finally starting to look around and see a few things of interest, Franklin is approx 8K from Huonville and the camp is right on the Houn river.Have now tried every thing i.e. Genny and made the mistake for not topping up the water tanks so it is carting water back and forwards to the tap with a container, but like everything else I learn fast.
Thursday we travelled to Bruny Island and we did a boat tour. It goes from Adventure Bay along the coastline to Tasman Head, viewing cliffs, caves and blow Holes and saw a colony of Sea lions finishing with school porpoises accompanying us on the return trip.

In the afternoon we drove up mount Wellington what a sight with the view of Hobart,
