Hopefully not to wear at the same time Judy. 
I will be packing 2 pairs of boot like shoes. Just in case one gets wet. Wearing comfy shoes on the plane. Must go and check the weather for Hobart.

Two pair Judy!!

Oh bugger I better pack 'em. I better wear them. I hate having excess.

You can come and have coffee and chat Judy. No need to buy breaky.

We are having a wonderful time in Tassie. It's been cool most days and was freezing at Cradle Mountain. We are in Strahan at the moment - today it was about 17 degrees, but yesterday it was much colder and raining heavily.

I'd definitively bring some warm clothes and boots along. It may be warmer in Hobart, but I'd pack some woollies just in case. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

[judydawn]

Thanks Katie, it's hard to imagine cold now that we've had temps in the low 30's but I'm coming prepared.

[Bedlam]

We are in Strahan too.
It was 3.5C this morning but  by 1pm it was 15C and beautiful and sunny. It snowed in cradle mountain last night.
I am wearing layers, started with 5 yesterday but took 3 off during our walk round Dove lake yesterday.
Katie we did the train to dubbil barril today.

Do we need to bring a trailer to the airport Judy
It was about 16 in Hobart, lovely sitting in the sun this afternoon, the breeze was a bit chilli.
Just checked the weather forecast 17 on Thursday and 22 on Friday.

Bedlem that is such an interesting area. And the train amazing. Katie you are having a ball eating at all the good places. Hope you both have pics to share.

Jenni you will need a trailer fer sure.

I am afraid i haven't been able to get any gift cards. I hope you all won't mind us not partaking in the lucky dip.  Shopping is a little different here to what I am used to.

[judydawn]

Denise you can just put some money into an envelope instead - it's still a gift and the recipient would have more options than a gift card.

My suitcase isn't huge Jen and I can nurse my carry on luggage. 

[Katiej]

Denise we are doing that train trip tomorrow. Today we did the Gordon River Cruise. We leave tomorrow for Huonville. Pity we didn't know you were here. Where did you eat? Last night we ate at Harmers bar & grill and tonight at Bushmans cafe.

We walked around Dove lake the day before you did by the sound of it!

There certainly isn't any shopping to be done here in Strahan. Some online stores do email vouchers (POK for example) or you could get something when you get to Hobart.

It was freezing this morning in ballarat but ended up being a nice day if out of the wind.

On boat having a relaxing wine now.

For us our little one wins hands down for the amount of luggage hence coming by car 😉

[Bedlam]

Enjoy Kerrie.
We have a unit and have stayed in for the evenings( knackered).  You  will love the cruise Katie.
I have booked the Bruny Island Gourmet food tour for the 27th, pick up at 7.10am.  Looks fantastic and heard great reviews from a couple here in Strahen.
We have now booked the Giants Table at maydena for tomorrow night and then an extra night at the Grand Chancellor ( 22-29).
Can't print any vouchers, perhaps will at GCH.

It all sounds so exciting.

To all of you going to Tassie, or who are already there, I hope you have a memorable and wonderful weekend. I am very envious of you all and will look forward to seeing all the photos and hearing all the stories as the weekend unfolds.  Maybe if the Fest rolls in to Melbourne one year I will be able to join you and meet you all.

Safe travels everyone.
