Well, not quite a canyon but a gorge.

We are in Launceston and my faith in Big4 parks is restored further by the lovely blonde lady on reception (so sorry, I can’t remember your name but you know who you are), who gives me great information about Launceston (pronounced ‘Lawn-cess-ton’) and restaurants, local things to do, etc. But it’s been a long drive and late so we just need to eat and sleep, oh, and make up the bed, Doh!

The next morning we are rested and ready to face the day. But first, I need to say, Julie really needs to up her game as far as ‘breakfast dress’ ‘goes and really get in to the outside living.

We are on the road for Cataract Gorge, as recommended by our friendly receptionist. and it’s a great place. They have a chairlift and an out door swimming pool for the public, and a great gorge too – not Cheddar Gorge of course but still good.

And at the top, lots of Pade melons..

We spend the morning wandering around the gorge – photo alert..

We then hit the road for St Helens which will be true off-line life as it’s an unpowered and no facility site. It will be interesting.
