We're Back!!

So when you arrive at 10 o'clock at night at an off-the-beaten track Caravan Park you happened to book maybe a month or so a go in between patient consults and the rather rotund moustached fellow questions whether this is the park you've actually got a site at - what do you do? There was a little panic but fortunately he was able to find me under "Michael" - pretty poor transliteration of Mitchell in my books - anyways - after a long day entertaining kids on the Spirit of Tassie then a couple hour drive to this place called Shallow Inlet near Wilson's Prom - this was the last thing we needed - but he found us a spot and all we needed to do was switch places in the AM. I had to reverse my caravan into a tented site - not big - Jen said I did okay though - so I'll hang my hat on that! Once settled we eventually managed to get into Wilson's Prom and check out the beaches at Tidal River and Squeaky Beach (aptly named for the squeaky sand). The rock formations and beaches were great for exploring, swimming and sand-castleing (new word I've created). When we got back to the campsite to do our journals and blog there was no server - hence the delay in writing for the past couple of days. Today we trekked to Torquay - what a difference from 6 1/2 years ago - the beach was packed and parking non-existent so we simply had a look around and found some supplies. I've rented a surf board for the morning to see if I can remember how to stand up in the waves - a little B-day gift to self (recommended by wife of course). We then did the necessary board short and bikini shopping along the "surfwear" strip. Dinner is to come with birthday songs on cue - one more year until the big 40! Am almost feeling old (sorry Tam)!! Thanks to all those joining as followers - I hope to keep you entertained - starting to feel like a bit of a cult!
