LOCATION: Huonville , near Hobart
WEATHER: Very nice during the day. High around 70. Cold at night
We drove through the "western wilderness". Even though the distances are short, it takes a long time to get anywhere. There was a real highway massacre during the night. We counted 100+ dead animals hit by cars .....wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, and even a farmer's escaped chicken! The Tasmanian devils come out at night and eat the carrion.
Our destination was the Hobart area, Tasmania's largest city and capital. We strolled around the waterfront. 
And walked down some side streets, catching the "Hope and Anchor", Australia's oldest pub.
Since we don't like driving in big cities, we headed south to Huonville, about 30 miles away. We are in a rich valley.
Our campground is part of an actual farm, with lots of chickens, sheep, pigs and cows. We watched the piglets born a few days ago, and the farmers feeding the animals.
The afternoon was sunny and warm, so we sat outside reading and basking in the welcome sun.
DINNER: Pizza cooked in the camp kitchen's pizza oven. We doctored it up with mushrooms and extra Parmesan. Really good, and a nice change of pace.
