A trip to Tassie is incomplete without a stay or at least a visit to Bruny Island. Cloudy Corner Campsite is an ideal setting for another encounter with friends ‘The Nederlofs’ and their camper. We were hesitant to drive on the sand, but a quick recce ensured we had nothing to worry about. The tide was low and the sand firm. A lovely shady elevated campsite welcomed us at the other end of Cloudy Bay.

Doubling our numbers calls for beach cricket & cocktails…

Too much cricket breaks the bat! Trust 2 joiners to be carrying enough tools and fixings to make running repairs, after a short delay the game is back on!

The mercury rises and the ranger posts a ‘total fire ban’ that means one thing – hit the beach!

The families have a super time in the idyllic surrounds, but its time to leave via Bruny Island Cheese for fresh sour dough, artesian cheese, cider, beer & wine. Then a sneaky whisky sampling – too much perhaps – as the Neds get pulled up behind us, as we’re the last to fit on the ferry… til the next one at least! Doh!!!

Bye Bye Ned’s its been fun
