A Big Day: Part 2


Port Huon Marina (? once a paddock carpark)


Genuine "locally grown" Tasmanian Huon Apples.
Tasmanians are wonderful generous people.


Looking out from the pub towards the marina.


Earlier today:
An Echidna walking beside us on Bruny Island.
This little fellow wasn't at all in a hurry to hide from us.


Exhausted.
No time for lunch.
Got to get moving.
The weather is perfect.
The Huon River awaits.

After 3 or 4 hours of motor assisted sailing we arrived at the friendly Port Huon Marina, a tiny little village with floating pontoons, water and power and very hot showers.
It seriously looks like a car park in a paddock that someone made into a water hole.
The management handed me a bag of fresh picked Huon Apples.(the real thing!!!)

I'm off to bed, feeling full and contented after a country pub dinner of lamb cutlets, vegies and gravy.

Tomorrow its Franklin.
I finally get to visit the famous Timber Boat Building School...I'd love to be one of the 6 candidates selected each year.....in another life perhaps.

Love
Jen
