Hey guys - have a good Easter? I did.
We went camping. First time in yonks. Probably since the Great Geek Migration at the start of last year.
We headed West to a place called Arthur River. We actually camped about 6 ks south of Arthur River itself, but close enough.
I love the west coast of Tassie. It’s been years since I was out this way - but I love it. Might not be as popular as the East Coast - but that just improves it’s appeal to me.
Klutz decided to join us (my family) for the long weekend - so we loaded up the Maverick, my Scooby-doo, and a trailer and set out.
The camp site. The slight hill in the background is all that was between us and the beach. We had to take a slightly longer way around to get there, as there was a creek going around in front of the hill.
We gave Dad’s new surf rods a whirl - but as expected, we caught nothing.
Most of the weekend was spent relaxing, reading, and flogging everyone else at monopoly (at least, that’s how I spent it). I was still recovering from the cold/flu thing, so it was great to be able to relax.
The most energetic thing I did was decide to climb the hill between us and the beach from the beach side (to avoid the creek) and take a photo of the campsite from the top.
Turned out to be harder than I expected. What appeared to be the top of the dune from the beach wasn’t - and to reach the top we had to push our way through some thick coastal scrub.

After crossing the top of the sand dune (which was larger than expected too) we finally found a place we could see the camp.

So that was my Easter. How was yours?
