31. Triabunna

Hoping for snow this morning we woke up to not to bad weather. After about ½ hr it changed. OMG we were rugged up to the nines including our beanies. Was so cold. The wind was just cutting through us. (I was currently sitting in a t-shirt, jumper and big jumper, beanie, jeans, shoes and socks and my hands are frozen.)

We went back to Sorell and did a load of washing and cleaned the van. We also grabbed some more groceries and headed off towards Triabunna.

Driving along we were all looking for a park with a power point, so we could charge our battery and continue free camping. Jokingly I said, “Yep, we need to find a park, with a playground, toilets, power points, near water”. We got to a town called Orford and found just that! Bonus. The only thing missing was a nice hot shower.

So we parked up and the boys played on the playground, made pikelets, Puddy basked in the sun, we hung our washing out and plugged into power! There we settled for a good few hours.

We left and drove to Triabunna and found the free camp behind the pub, parked at the back, out of the wind. Rod and I went for a quick walk down the main street and returned freezing.

I made a big pot of pumpkin soup, it was lovely. However with the cold we were in bed about 5pm just to keep warm. This would have to have been the COLDEST DAY EVER! Not nice.
