Today we headed out of Tullah and to Low Head just outside of George Town.

Though we took a detour over to see a cave at Mole Creek.

Here are some images of King Solomon Cave.
As you can see, these are beautiful caves. I just wish we had more time to see a few more in the area.

After a quick lunch break at a near by town we got footed it over to Low Head to ensure we could get a cabin for the night and be ready for the Penguin Tour!

I wish I could bring one home with me but alas they guides said it was not allowed 🙁

As you can see we were able to get really close to them, standing still and without casting a shadow they just waltz up their normal path on the way to their home.

After looking at the weather report and friends posting images of snow on the mountain we placed enough clothes on to ensure our warmth during the day.
Shortly after setting off, we find snow on the side of the road!

This made our day a bit slow going as we didn’t want to run into any black ice along the way.

We were originally going to head for the top North West of Tas, somewhere like Smithton, this was revised to a Corrina due to us running out of daylight. This we knew was going to be ambiguous givin the road we choose was unsealed. After hitting the unsealed part of the road and hanging on for dear life as we tried to keep the bikes upright, it was described that we should turn back and head for a town called Tullah.

We stayed the night here, there was very little reception and what you could get was hopping on one leg in a circle to get one bar on the Telstra edge network.

As you may see day 9 is missing, this was mostly taken up with repackaging and me going to see a specialist about the pain in my chest.
Good news I’m not going to die just yet!

So everything is packed and we are ready to set off and..
My bike wouldn’t start 🙁
Turns out that you can run the bike battery flat by leaving the accessories one for two days, total oversight on my behalf.
So got the bike jump started and headed down the road to Sullivan’s Cove Whiskey join. Spent some time here tasting their produce partook in a tour while praying that the weather would ease off.

We then took off to Derwent Bridge, it was late when we arrived, cold and starving we decided to get a room at the pub for the night to allow us to dry out our gear and have a good nights rest.
