        Oh, no one of those.....I worked with an "extended family" at the Norske skog Boyer Paper Mill - they all lived on the same street....

          I think the ferry must have hit a whale on the crossing. There was a huge bang. Either that or a small boat, but nothing on the news.
          The crossing was a little rougher than the first one.

          Now to sort out all the pics and videos. Tassie really deserves more time. I will have to return another time. The West coast needs some more exploring. Montezuma falls track was certainly interesting. It was all in all a great trip. Many thanks to the organising team. You all did a great job.
          My guess a sea container is what you hit there are a few bobbing around.
          But I did spot a couple of Whales whilst fishing central north coast on Wednesday night.

          • I hope you are right, fishfinder. Its a little upsetting to think of some unsuspecting animal coming to that fate.

                  I tried a few and the best by far was the bakery in Beaconsfield.

                  • First Scallop pie for this trip and probably still my favorite was at Bossimi Bake house/café in Sheffield.
                    Picked up a cold six pack of scallop pies from the "Nice & Tasty" bakery on the way to the Spirit in Devonport.
                    Had one for lunch today, Yep still love em!

                      one of the three was at the mentioned bakery in Sheffield, another was oliver Bakery in Ulverstone and the third was the Bakery in Ross - maybe I am just not fond of them

                      • Wow, how good is Tasmania!!

                        We recently spent three weeks down there over Christmas camping and 4WDing our way around. Great time of year it was a very pleasant temperature and only one day of rain on boxing day.

                        We brought the Off Road Tasmania book (http://www.roving.com.au/) which covered 179 tracks in great detail.

                        The track out to Montezuma Falls was the highlight, not too hard but a beautiful drive following the route of the old train line. On the return we used Ring River track which was a bit harder but we had no problems.

                        • Damn good! That's why we have an annual trip, it's so close for us too

                          • We did the Balfour Track, lots of long water sections and a fair bit of mud, as expected. We didn't have too many problems but we did get stuck in a big bog hole around the half way mark. The mud came about half way up the doors, I guess thats why you have teenagers, to run the winch cable out and get really muddy. I think he secretly like it.

                            The start of the Balfour

                              • Nice pics.
                                Looks like you made the most of 3 weeks, some really good choices on places to visit.
                                Out of all that, what was the most challenging track?
                                Thankx for sharing.
