Thank you💙💙 one of our favourite places Deloraine. Viewing your vlogs has made us realise how many places we (just) missed - we will have to go back me thinks🥰. Thanks Jan Adelaide ( still in Q -hopefully home early July🤞🤞🤞

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

There a places that we know that we have missed, can't do it all in one trip as there is too much to see. Hope all goes well for you for the home in July.👌

Beautiful video

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

A beautiful country to visit.🙂

[@dougkruse1301]

Each video keeps getting more interesting, thanks so much for sharing.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Enjoy.🙂

[@annagray4208]

Fabulous again. We stayed an extra night in Oatlands as the atmosphere was so good. Keep enjoying yourself. Best wishes.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thank you. So many of the small towns have a great vibe to them.

[@leonwakefield7285]

Thoroughly enjoying your tour of Tasmania, very informative and well presented😊

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Glad you are enjoying the videos, thank you.👍

[@brentonl2631]

We visited most of the places you stayed at minus the snow at Miena. Deloraine is a fantastic townloved it as a base. Really this episode thanks again for your great work. Stay safe.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Great stuff, thank you.👍

Great you're getting to see all sorts of weather & places - although, for us in the North it has been lovely sunny & dry, ideal for visitors experiencing the best Tassie has to offer. I can't believe people were actually running Launceston down to the extent of discouraging people from visiting - it's not such a small place that there wouldn't be something there for most - there is a rivalry dating back to Colonial days - from the earliest days of settlement between the Capital and Lonnie - Hard to imagine it continues 200-yrs down the track! I'm sure you realized, convict labour ceased in the 1800's rather than LAST century!! But young people watching may not spot the difference, hence Campbell Town 's Red Bridge was built in 1838 and the bridge in Ross was finished around 1836 of fine sandstone construction. I do find it quite surprising that it is so quiet - in England, the off-season is so popular with campers like yourselves - no kids to worry about - and the weather tends to be quite benevolent in Spring & Autumn - Hopefully your relaxing exploration will entice other nomads down here when the kids are back in school! Did you get to Longford - a good farm town? There are several historic, listed properties worth visiting in the Midlands, I'd suggest the National Trust's Clarendon House at Nile, the elms would have been magnificent! -If you are interested in Colonial History, Woolmers and Brickendon near Longford/Creasy. are awesome - seeing these places and walking in the footsteps of people long gone really does add another depth & dimension to visiting an island like Tasmania. Happy travels, and thanks for sharing - keep safe! There is a bigger campsite along the river in Deloraine.

It frustrates me greatly that I am not able to go into my video on KZbin and edit errors such as dates. The only way to do it that I am aware of is to delete the video and redo it or I believe I can cut pieces out but no correction while it exists is possible. Unfortunately the date is an error on my part, you are not the first one to alert me to it. There are so many places that we didn't get to visit, Longford being one of them. You would think three months would be long enough to see everything in Tasmania, unfortunately at the pace that we like to move around, we will need to do another trip to see the things that we have missed out on during this trip.

[@dryroo]

Thanks for the return of many memories

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

You are welcome.👍

[@bill13690]

Great video there, Mick. I hope you are still having a wonderful time in Tasmania. Also, please do look after yourself too, regards William.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Thanks William, Tassie has been to good to visit.

[@louisebrislane6607]

Yes, I loved Deloraine as we stopped there & were able to walk round the town centre. I thought it was a very quaint town & would be a very nice place to live. I am glad it wasn't me waking up to that cold morning. I had noticed that Tassie had low temps but didn't think of you to be honest but yes, I woke up to some very cold mornings when I visited & on visiting the high country it isn't unusual to see snow falling like that out of season (for us New South Welshmen) It was lovely visiting Campbell Town again & Ross but I really would have loved to have gone up that road to Deloraine as it was so beautiful, especially with the trees changing colour. My last trip was down the eastern side of Tassie in mid February & it got very cold on some days & we had cold driving rain which wasn't so nice. It was like autumn had come early that year. I see by the weatherman that we have our first low heading your way & bringing a change to the seasons as until now we have had only large highs traveling across Australia since Christmas. So I am looking forward to Wednesday morning when we get a day of north easterlies before the cold west wind hits & winter starts. This is why you have had such good weather for your Tasmania trip!!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We expected to see more wet days in Tassie than what we actually had during our trip but the lower than normal rainfall was to our advantage as it mad places like Deloraine shine to perfection. We had heard that it can snow out of season but be didn't expect snow to fall while we were there, so it was a pleasant surprise for us🙂

[@billmcintosh1242]

Thanks Mick! very relaxing to watch, love that you only travel short distance and enjoy the trip, towns and countryside. Bill Mc

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

There is so much to see in Tassie without moving very far at all, having time on our side for this trip is a big advantage.

[@moblet]

Autumn in Tassie usually serves up a lot of calm sunny weather, many locals say it's their favourite season. It's a good time to visit if you can accept the lower temperatures and shorter days. There are platypus in the river at Deloraine too.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We would like to do another trip at some stage, next one would be in the late part of Spring. Deloraine was such a pretty place to visit, one of those places that you know from the first sighting that you are going to enjoy it.

[@moblet]

@@justcruisinwithmicksally837 Late spring is definitely warmer on average, and the midland areas will likely be greener, but the weather can be more volatile. You just described Deloraine perfectly!

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

@@moblet cheers👍

[@jebw]

Waddamana power station is worth a visit on the highlands drive.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

We didn't see a real lot of the Highlands area, something that we will spend time in on our next rip over there.

[@howardwilliams7399]

Convict labour, should be more of it these days. Make em work for their food and lodgings.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Tasmania certainly made good use of the labour available to them.

[@Mick_4591]

Good to see another video Mick n Sally When your camped up for ine night do you unhitch or stay hitched up?

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Very seldom do we stay hitched up unless we are stopping purely because the day has ended and moving on first thing the next day with no touring around between arrival and departure.

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

Greetings to you🙂

[@bernfarro]

Red bridge speak typo 1836 not 1936

[@justcruisinwithmicksally837]

You are correct, my mistake. Unfortunately KZbin doesn't have the facility to allow me to go back to edit the video which can be annoying in situations like this one.
