From Tassie to the Hunter Valley and on to Port Douglas
(Preview)
Since we picked up our Oasis Van we have not stopped. Our highlights in Tassie for the 2 months would include the East and Northern coasts. We arrived back on the Gold Coast just long enough to have a small repair fixed and then off to the Hunter Valley where we enjoyed the best weather they had seen in May....

The old lady has had her hip replacements
(Preview)
Well, finally, after waiting a week, the springs have been refitted to the van and we are now on our own tyres instead of 4 jacks. The step is quite a bit higher so the springs must be doing their job. Our hip pocket is several hundred $s lighter so that must be good for towing the van!! So our 'free camping' n...
