are you lone tourists?
Just wondering if you are encountering any other travellers along the way or do you have all these amazing places to yourselves! It's great to read about places in Tassie that I have not yet visited.

I particularly love the view of the Airwalk and the swans from this post. I am still laid up so it is great to have something to take my mind off my misery! Hope you are both keeping well and warm! love Janet

Not quite on our own
Hi Janet, we are not the only tourists down here in Tasmania, but there aren't too many others at this time of the year.

Sorry to hear that you are still battling to recover from the bug you picked up in Perth. Love, Tracey & Bernie
