Gismo Queen and her King

Day 9 - Wednesday 5 January 2021 - Strahan

 A lovely sleep in, awakening to the sounds of waves. We decided a fry up was in order again as we probably wouldn’t have one together again this trip. A beautiful lazy morning in the sun before we headed our separate ways. The camp caretaker had said yesterday that the wind was worst in the afternoon and he must be right because the mornings are lovely! Tomorrow we hope to do the steam train so we headed to the railway station to make enquiries while the Thomas’ found the laundromat. Train is booked out for weeks because of the limited on board capacity (due to COVID) so we met up with the others at Banjos in Strahan for lunch before a bit of rain settled in. We had indoor actcivities planned - Greg wanted to check out huon pine to see what he could buy. So we visited a mill that sells their own and two other places that sold suitably sized pieces. Breathing in that beauitful scent was a great way to wile away a few hours and then we had coffee at Strahan’s best coffee shop (it was pretty good!) before heading back to camp where the rain had cleared and the sun was back out so it was a nice quiet time around the campfire. I cooked a beef stroganoff in the camp oven which was just delicious.
