Burnie – Wynyard

Well got an early start. Found a place to stay down by the waterfront near the woodchip pile. Broke the aerial off the van while accessing a carpark yesterday. Did the rounds of the useless cheap car shops such as Auto1 and Repco. None of these shops keep anything in stock anymore. All have to be ordered in. Ended up going to Ford and paid double the price to get one in the next day…

Headed off 20kms down the road to Wynyard. What a joy! What a relief! Not a wood chip in sight and a gorgeous town to boot! Found the most loveliest Book Café for sale along with old 1894 heritage house… This place is heaven. The locals are lovely (mind you we haven’t met a horrible person yet since we arrived (except kids who have the personality of a pencil and don’t turn into human beings till they turn 30 (at least))) – boy am I sounding old!

Anyone want to buy a lovely three storey beachside duplex in Mandurah?

Steve went paddling up the Inglis River and I went for a walk along the lovely waterside paths. Its so peaceful and relaxing here. Quite a nice sized town and just an hour from Devonport. There are 3 pubs and lots of cafes and lovely parks along the river and oceanfront.

Stoped the night overlooking the river in a perfectly quiet spot. I could get used to this…
