Monday-Tuesday 1st/2nd Dec. Well its officially summer so I wore shorts and a polo shirt all day to explore St Helens and surounding coastline. Cathy finally managed to comandeer my jeans for long enough to wash them. Grease seems to pass through thin air whenever I get within a yard of the tow ball. 
Binalong Bay is aptly named as it seems to go on forever, although nothing compared with Bay of Fires slightly further north. The white sand and brilliant blue sea could have had us fooled into thinking we were in North Queensland, but for the bitingly cold wind which has been blowing offshore while we have been here. The offshore winds result in what the ABC forcaster describes as "confused" seas - fortunately the fishermen are not confused and seem to be bringing in good catches. We enjoyed local oysters last night at $13 a doz fromthe fish shop and bought some more today direct from the oyster farm and still in their unopened shells for $8.
Tomorrow we are off to Bridport on the north coast and then to Launceston and back to Devonport for the ferry on Friday evening. Somewhere in that lot I have to visit Bell Bay Power Station to talk to a man about a tapchanger.
