Free camping again at Lake Mackintosh. Another Hydroelectric dam allegedly full of trout! Paul and Alex were furious as they had been fishing for a while when a man turned up and threw his line in and BANG caught a trout! The boys have still not caught any fish...so sad. :-(
It started raining that day so we all decamped back to the camper. Got the heck out of there in the morning as we were very worried the lake would overflow the spill way and we would get trapped. I needed a shower too and it was starting to get too cold for my liking.

| A cold wet morning at Lake Mackintosh |
Not much to say about Strahan - except I hope never to go there again. We got hit by a gale! Oh yes siree...just my luck. Supposed to be feasting on Crayfish...it's not the season till Mid November. I am so lucky aren't I? We had a horrible dinner and am starting to wonder whether the Tasmanians are out to fleece the tourists and think us mainlanders are so dumb it's easy to part us from our money. Imagine paying $6.50 for a hamburger at a fish and chip shop. Where is Ms Hanson when you need her - I say?? OK, so I am a jobless bum watching my pennies, but I was not going to pay $28 for dinner at a Pub - so the cheapest was the fisho.
Anyway, back to the cravan park where Paul and I both spent a very sleepless night waiting for the camper to be picked up by the gale and carried back to Cradle Mountain. Couldn't wait to get out of Strahan...OK...there was one nice thing...I saw a beautiful B&B I would have loved to have owned called Ormiston House. It even had a widow's walk...wish it was in Queensland though where we have the thermostat up a few notches.
