Well it is indeed good to be here in Tassie.. the forest festival was fun fine and festive, you can imagine me camped out in a paddock with a bunch of six women enjoying the gentle breeze from the mountains...
went walking up the tiers the second day
and caving near Mole Creek (honeycomb cave) the first day
(These are the waterproof 4WD foot tractors that got me there without a blister...my best ever $5 bargain from the casino st opshop...)
...and relaxed and listened to the music and ate good food the third day.
Here is the brilliant pizza oven that worked night and day to feed the masses bread, pizza and apple crumble, even baked rainbow trout - we are definitely going to build one at Tuntable...
It's kind of chilly but I am acclimatising....and now I am camped in luxury at Lisa's friend Niecy's Tigerhill Cafe near Golden Valley, awaiting the fixing of Lisa's car and waiting for the washing to dry. Then we plan to get to Strahan for a reunion of the old forest-saving no-dams crew, perhaps even go down the river and perhaps even camp...
here are some of the exquisite and minute alpine life-forms we discovered up there close to heaven...
I saw the aurora the other night - all my life I have wanted to and somehow it flashed for a minute or so above the mountians when I went out for my late night pee - big balls of white light travelling backwards and forwards on the southern horizon, very beautiful and awesome.
We are heading off to Strahan for Friday - and hoping that Lisa's lemon car will be fixed by then. It's pissing down rain and everyone is very happy about it here. More news next week... till then, enjoy!
