Our voyage across Bass Straight was quite smooth with just a few gentle rolls from time to time but nothing to make us feel queasy. We appreciated our cabins and after relaxing with a wine and beer, to retreat to our own space with comfy beds and ensuite was lovely.
On departing the Spirit of Tasmania, of course it was dark - and raining - which kept up all morning and we were almost convinced we would be setting up in the rain. However, it stopped and now it's overcast but dry! It's not cold and not windy so that's a bonus. We headed towards Launceston and found a nice spot in Deloraine for a huge breakfast then took the scenic route to the information centre in Launceston (which was a tricky place to find with not much parking space available!)
We decided to head to Greens Beach as its a small casual park north of Beaconsfield in the Tamar Valley. We can use the fire pit and we found a wood yard to purchase wood as quarantine rules don't permit wood being bought across on the boat. Seeing the sunshine is zero, we've got powered sites - a bit of luxury to use an electric kettle and toaster! We have a lovely spot and can hear the waves crashing so we are very close to the beach. The park is very quiet and we are away by ourselves but there's a general store nearby that makes coffee plus we are welcome to visit the golf club which adjoins the park, so we are pretty happy with our choice. 
There is also a 10 km coastal walk I'm pretty keen to try out too. We are close to lots of scenic drives so will be packing the picnic basket tomorrow to enjoy some sightseeing. 
The boys are chopping wood and I'm off to explore a little more before we settle down for the evening. It's been a long day so no doubt it will be an early night. We trust everyone is well.
Keep tuned for more news of our Tassie exploring xxxxx Brays & Greenwoods
