Everyone left at their own pace today as usual. Conor & Eamon Murphy, Rod & Rachel Barker decided on a plane trip around the Heritage area. Some others went for a boat ride around Lake St Clair.
The rest of us rode on up the winding roads of the mountains and stopped for lunch at the Derwent Bridge Wilderness Hotel. Waited for a while to catch up with others and then off the The Wall in the Wilderness. A fantastic wall of carved Huon timber by artist Greg Duncan.
However, the highlight of the day was watching Toni Birthisel being towed into the Bronte Park Village at about 4pm by a police car. It seems she earned the "tassie tosser" day 4 award for breaking the timing chain on her husbands work van and our backup van. The police man just happened to be driving behind her at the time of the breakdown but thought being blonde that she was just taking some pictures on the side of the road. There were a few contenders today and it was hard to decide who should get it. We actually voted. Peter Birthisel was a contender as well as he bike broke down again. Conor Murphy was in the running for it after he came off his bike on the way home from the plane trip while getting carried away with more sight seeing. Don't worry Kaye, they are fine.
We all settled into a great night at the Bronte Park Village. There was a great pool comp with the locals and us but seems they won.
Steve and Lyndel got into the swing of some old songs on the jukebox.
