Well John, you look relaxed, chilled out completely and totally at ease with the smoke and yourself. Have fun and I wish you the best of Christmas and the New Year. I count myself as lucky, to have had the pleasure of meeting you in person. Take care Sharon.

love your smoko, been there many times myself, I now carry a fair bit of dry firewood with me these days and a fire pot, I was interested in how you are finding Tassie these days after all the crap from the Van park owners that were complaining about free camping? is it biting in to the feel of Tassie as a welcoming location?, my last visit in 2010 was not a comfortable one, I had a run in with the owner of the Gowrie caravan park, soured my whole trip, has the new regulations made a differnce? Bucko!

Bucko,
I have posted almost daily since I have been in Tassie and always from free camps, I have avoided caravan parks so far and unless desperate will continue to do so.
One thing that I have noticed is that in some locations an honesty box had been added since the Camps6 was published. $5 desn't worry me I accept that as necessary. I have nothing to compare with so I can't comment about any differences but so far all has been well in the 12 free or honesty box camps that I have stayed it.
Currently camped free at Lagoons Beach until after the New Year along with the locals who have been coming here for over 30 years, very similar to caravan parks in that regard.
I free camp myself most times and don't mind paying a few dollars for a shower etc, that more than fair and happy to feed the honesty box "honestly" I was at Adventure bay Xmas 2010, it got very busy, very quickly, enjoy, it may get busy in Feb 2013 with an all chapters rally near Launceston by CMCA members, don't get run under. It's good to see you have Internet reception at the Lagoon area, who's your carrier? Telstra?
Bucko, what brand of slide on is that?I have an old modified winabagel, and have real problems loading it onto my courier 4wd ute as the tray is too high.Yours looks nice and low.Thinking of buying a bt50 2wd ute with styleside back as they are very low compared with mine. Thanks, Bill

it's an EscapeRV slide on, not manufactured anymore unfortunately, they did a pretty good job and were great with any probs I had, even 4 years down the track, these things are too big for the normal 1 tonne utes I've found, I did a Hilux and rodeo before with smaller slide on and were O.K. but this thing is too big and heavy, sits perfect on the Sprinter and the extra long tray gives me the room for the box with all the add-on we tend to bring with us, just in case, never enough room is there?I've just got to learn to leave some of it behind, don't I? happy travels, all the best for Xmas where every it finds you.
