We have been camped by the Esk River in Longford for a few days, just south of Launceston. The area is so pretty with the bare deciduous trees, green paddocks and amazing old stone homes everywhere. This morning we had our first frost for our trip, with the temperature\u00a0 only 1 degrees. Tomorrow is minus 1 so should be interesting. Thank goodness we invested in the new diesel heater for the van, so have been very comfortable, but have to always remember to layer our clothes!! With the frosts, come stunning clear days, so it has been beautiful. Had a delicious lunch at the well known Josef Chromy Vineyard yesterday, after visiting the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania (Mal’s favourite).\u00a0 We also, amongst many other things, visited the Design Tasmania Centre in Launceston. Murray, look up their website designtasmania.com.au. You would love it. All the stunning furniture is made in Tasmania from beautiful local timber… many of the pieces would look incredible in a home. I will have to start saving.<\/p>\n
