It rained all night and forecast was for rain all day so Cradle Mountain would once again be fogged out so i gave that a miss and headed north to Leven Gorge.

After a very stormy night i was up early and lined up at the Spirit of Tasmania Boarding Gate ... a bit early as i was first in line and had a lot of waits at various spots before finally boarding.

The start was a bit hectic as we needed a Tug to get away from the dock and turned around, with 4 metre swells, 100 Kmh winds and water splashing over the top of the top deck it was an interesting trip back across Bass Straight.

Once arrived back on the mainland i drove to Runnymede Park in Elmore to camp then arrived at my parents place early next morning to give MissRed a hug... she had the shits and gave me a flat battery to start with, then a clogged fuel filter [probably from Cape York or the High Country].
I have a few mods to do before i head off as well as clean up Doris and put the camper back on the Trailer.
The end of an awesome 6 weeks !!
