Hello!
Today was fluffy clouds & blue skies! Chalk and cheese from yesterday!
I did finish my relish, (eventually this evening) but we took advantage of the weather today and went for our loop hike around Anniversary Bay.
We took about two and a half hours, saw a snake and nearly got run over by a speeding wallaby! (Naturally had put my camera in my backpack for both fauna incidents!!)
We didn’t pack and carry big packs. Really thinking we should as we are less than a month out from our start date
Had a good chat with our friend Rachel tonight who is coming along with us on the Cradle Adventure. I highly recommended she get hold of a fly veil! The flies were so sticky today… much nicer if they can’t sit on your face!
Rachel is booked to arrive in Tassie a few days before we head off. Time enough to get all the gear packed and make sure we haven’t forgotten any little essentials.
Jeff has been avidly watching hiking videos, collecting gear, sorting clothes and generally being rather switched on about the whole thing. Apart from cooking and dehydrating a couple of meals, I have actually thought about making a list! 😀
I am thinking I might duck into town tomorrow to see if I can find some suitable pants/shorts and a decent rain jacket. (Yes yes, I live in Tasmania, so I should own several proper rain jackets… but I don’t)
I hate clothes shopping. I think its been a couple of years since I bought any new clothes. I will be brave and try. (Often I give up after two shops and dive into a book shop and treat myself to a new book to get over the clothes-shopping-trauma)(I’ll let you know how I go)
I love the last part of this little hike. Mostly flat across the top with great views all around.
Hope your week has started fabulously!
Cheers!
Lisa, in your third wonderful pic, looks like someone is holding up a dish of some kind. Is that Jeff, collecting solar rays for charging? Any idea what is being held?

Hi Elizabeth! I had to go back to the photo to see – do you mean the bit in the middle of the photo at the bottom? If so thats actually sun-flare. At the time we go walking its directly into the sun and I get a lot of interesting patterns from the flare, depending on the angle! Sometimes it annoys me, sometimes I like it! 🙂
Boy, had to go back to pic to check too. There’s an silver oval on a horizontal between path and ocean. There are three vertical ocean curves, the oval lines up with center curve.to the left is a darker spot, which I took to be a human form. increasing size of pic, no longer appears to be human to me. Oh well, spooks?
I went back to the original image and enlarged it – I saw exactly what you meant! Awesome!! But it is just some sunflare positioned next to a figure like bush!!
Made me remember telling Jeff earlier in the walk – look!! See the rabbit? Little floppy ears sitting down?? Then I saw Jeff looking all over the ground and I had to clarify – “Cloud Rabbit” lol
