Leaving Shepparton we headed back towards the Hume Hwy then continued our journey towards Sydney. I've always wanted to drive the complete length of the Hume Hwy just to see what it is like and say "Been There Done That"
The night at the BP Service Centre was a little restless we had forgotton how busy they were especially with trucks. Still it was most likely quiet compared to if it was a normal work day and not a public holiday.
Returning to Burnie from Strahan and Queenstown signalled the last major attraction we wanted to see. We now had about 10 days before departing this fair state back to the mainland.
We have found living in a caravan is like living in a house in that after a while you need a change of scenery as hard as is to believe we wanted a small break from living in the van.
Leaving Burnie we headed west towards Stanley and Tarkine Region. Along the Bass Hwy we stopped at Rocky Cape Tavern which had a free camp out the back so decided to base ourselves here as it seemed central to most of the area we wanted to visit. While checking in they offered a site with power for $10.00 a night so decided take that option instead as we were expectingf cloud during the time we are in the area. Stanley and Dismal Swamp are all day trips from Rocky Cape so it seemed a bit pointless to drag the van all the way in then all the way back out the same way.
