Today our 10.5 week journey commenced with the drive to Devonport to catch the Spirit of Tasmania. We made the obligatory stop in Campbell Town (does anyone make the South-north trip without stopping there??) and then Perth to start our #huntforaustraliasbestpotatocake (check out Bill’s insta page to keep up to speed on the search). Hot tip: don’t buy the potato cakes from the United servo in Perth.
Then onto the boat.
Kylie’s version of events: “Well that was a really good crossing. Just enough swell to rock us to sleep”.
Bill’s version of events: “Rough as guts crossing. Roughest crossing ever. Lucky to be alive. I’m taking a plane from now on”.
Wet drive to Lake Bolac via a stop in Ballarat to see my sister and nephews.
Both exhausted – Bill mainly so from his near death experience in the 1 – 2 metre swell of the Bass Strait.
