Long weekends are awesome - 4 day long weekends are even better! Spent the first few days at my place with the family and Klutz - but today Dad and I decided to climb Mt Direction.

 

Of course - why take the walking track when there’s a 4x4 track to be found! Took us almost to the top - only a short walk from the end of the track.

 

Mt. Direction has a restored semaphore system. From here you can see clear to George Town in one direction, and Launceston in the other. Back in the old days - before the Telegraph - this was how messages were sent from George Town to Launceston. Not exactly a high baud rate, but effective.

Felt soo good to kick the Pajero into low range again. Was starting to suffer from withdrawal.

You know what's better than 4 day long weekends? Two and a half weeks of holidays!
