Well this would make a great ad for the West Coast of Tasmania at Easter wouldn't it? This was taken one evening while Em and Rob attempted to catch fish in the surf. Sadly unsuccessful at the fishing they still look great at sunset.

Easter camping

Well we survived a camping trip to the west coast of Tasmania at Easter time. Yay!!!! Actually it was fun, we spent Friday travelling to Sundown point just below Arthur River via some forestry roads which the Mio (GPS) didn't seem to know existed. We managed to find a grassy sheltered spot that was not already spoken for and set up our little tent city. Em, Rob and Clinton all had their own tents and there was our tent and a shelter for a kitchen, a sun shelter (yes there was sun) and last but not least a little tent for you know what. The weather was kind in the most part, quite sunny during the days and then very cold overnight. Even with good sleeping bags and thermals it was chilly for sleeping. We didn't actually do much, just read books, played board games, chatted, cooked stuff over a campfire, strolled along the beach and attempted to surf fish. It was all very relaxing and I am beginning to think that is what we all need most. Rob and Em were recovering from colds, Steve was recovering from working too much, Clint from study and I was simply enjoying a break from both work and house work. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable was having some more family or friends to share it with. ah well maybe next time.
