Devonport – Forth

Slept where we’d parked in the carpark, but unbeknownst to us, we were right next to a train line. It looked so small that it wasn’t used, but unfortunately it was. Didn’t get a lot of sleep needless to say.

Had a relatively quiet day. Went for a walk out to the point and discovered a terrific Maritime Museum. They were also the local history museum. They were really friendly and had some great stuff.

We then found a couple of properties in Kindred. On the way we visited a Lions managed park. Tim, the Lions volunteer, chatted to everyone up there visiting the lovely lookout. He said he did it to entertain his dog, but I think they both had as much fun. We talked and then he suggested a great spot on the river to sleep for the night. He drove us down there and show us where to park. We cant believe how friendly and helpful all the people have been in Tassie that we’ve met. We then made use of the freshly mowed lawns and started to pull our van apart to look for our missing house keys. We managed a great clean out and although I’d purchased 3 more books at the Maritime Museum (and donated 1 book and 2 DVDs to them), we managed a really good van cleanout. Alas the keys are still missing…
