WEEK 97, IT JUST KEEPS RAINING....

WEEK 97,IT JUST KEEPS RAINING......

Up and down week this week with rain and fine days mixed into the week, but as we are just rolling along it don't worry us too much and gives us time to catch up with our selves.
Been out doing the wood collecting thing so we have plenty in house in case it gets very wet

We had jobs about the house to do and with rain and very cold weather its no fun going out to explore.
I have been sorting and doing the service on car and caravan so when we are ready to move again all is good and ready to go.
Once you have been travelling for a while you learn to slow down and just take each day as it comes as there is no real week end for you so any day is a good day to go out somewhere. and yes there is things to do all the time weather for yourself or in our case for the people who we are looking after their house, so being bored is not something you have to worry about too much

Again a week of rainy weather and we just went to Penguin to see the markets, most markets we have visited down here are very small, but this one is larger than most its in a big building which is built for markets and the stalls are all lockable so at the end of the day they just shut the doors till next time.

They have lots of stuff if you are into that, but as we are travelling you don't need all that stuff about and they do have their share of stranger stuff as you see from the photos.

After we finished there, we headed further west to Burnie and south about 20kms to visit a House sit in the rolling hills here, you really don't find a bad view anywhere we travel here and this was the same stunning views.

We rang the people who wanted us to look after their place , but no answer so we went just down the road from them and visited Guide Falls we only visited for a short time and the falls are flowing hard after all the rain of late and as its only just up the road from our next stay, will get back and get some more shots and have a better look.

We have found that going out in wet rainy days does not give us any joy and the photos are few and not so good, like yesterday when I went to pick up Ellen, I was going to get a good shot of Mt Roland but it was well hidden under heavy cloud and fog for most of the day

Guest House.

And yet today, Saturday the weather for just now is clear and bright, but is going to close in later and be raining again, so you do have the pick your days for going out.

So here are few more photos from around the place, I had good light this morning so have a look.

We are it seems getting visitors in a month or so and they will hang out with us for a week before leaving and going back to the mainland, so we are planning a big few days to show then the place and they should be able to see Tasmania from what we have seen to date.

Photo of The Week

So below will be the same position, so this photo taken this week, where we are staying about same day and time, so each week as the weather changes and gets well into Winter you will see the changes over the 2 months about we are here.
I think you will see the countryside change along with us, hope you enjoy this......

So we picked up a new house sit over the week end and it don't start till late August sometime and not sure just yet when it will end.
Put we do have sheep, couple of dogs and chooks again. The people are great and the house is a big place and lots of gardens around.
it is up near Burnie and will give us a good base for future travels around that area. It seems a very pretty area and with the water fall and other sites close by we should enjoy as we always do.
