First let me say this post is coming from inside my tent in the back yard and I'm in a tent bubble state of happiness at the moment,
It took me about a hour from taking the tent out of the box to the state of sitting happily in my crooked tent , yes thats right we are leanning a little to the left but the view is rather pleasing , one of blue skys and drifting white clouds , a gentle breeze every now and then and if I stick my head out the door i can see my garden and two sunflowers with a bumble bee and a honey bee wandering between the two collecting pollen, sometimes a white moth butterfly flits past my tent door,
and every now and then i get a sticky beak visit from the Cat who living in this special Launceston National Park
now if you are lucky enough to come camping in here you might also find a water fairy hiding in the bushes , and a little concrete duck that has taken up residence in the gardens also,
We have a couple of well running tap creeks near by and the amenities block is always clean and well cared for ,
I will soon post some shots of the local camping spot and tent in residence .

Sounds like an excellent camping ground Sim, with some particularly unique wildlife in residence. can't wait to check this one out for myself.

Congratulations on achieving the crooked tent too

[Shane V]

Sim, well done. Can't wait to see the pix.

Just one question Sim... do we need a special parks pass to visit these camping grounds?

[tassiesim]

Ohh Anna most definatly but its a special parks pass that gives you much more benifits than a Generic Tasmanian National Parks Pass mind you there only a few granted every year , so numbers are limited

Ohh Look what I got in the mail yesterday A cardboard Box !
