Welcome home: it rained, then it rained some more, then it just rained. When it eased it was a typical moor scene: you couldn’t see the tops of the hills in the cloud.
Leaving St Helens we were also departing Break O’Day Council. Originally proclaimed as Portland-Fingal, the name changed 1993to Break O’Day. Sounds like a committee decision. “We need a new name, let’s discuss: we’ve been here since break of day and still can’t agree. Why not call it that then? Job done”
We were hugging the East coast which is the driest part of Tasmania. Usually. Never mind, we’ve had it good up to now. Swansea (population of 1000) formed from 1821. Named by someone from Pembrokeshire who (Westerner) was first to land/explore. He couldn’t have liked the Pembrokeshire names.
Not many photos today, just wet clothes!
Tomorrow to Hobart.
