A quick look at the visitor centre at lake st Clare, a walk or two worth doing here! but not today as weather not so good. On to The Wall, ha ha, not the Wall in Game of Thrones :)

This place is wonderful, such a talented sculpture. No photos allowed, but web site www.thewalltasmania.com has lots. Depicting the history of the area, 10 years in the making and another 10 to go. I just loved the individual pieces, especially the gloves. Just looked like someone had dropped a worn leather work glove on the bench, hard not to pick it up.

Turned north up the Marlborough Rd to the lakes and Western Tiers. As we drove high, so it got colder. These lakes obviously popular fishing spots for the locals. Lots of shacks, loved the old caravans attached to tin shed like porches/annexes!

Found a secluded spot, and after setting up realised how cold it was. What a wonderful reason to light a fire and cook. Out came the axe and I got the bread started. Turned into pizza, looked good, but should have been more resourceful with the topping. Next we christened the new blue billy. Will have to get it black some time:). Then we cooked up a nice beef casserole, but after the pizza discovered we weren't hungry - wonderful that is tomorrow's dinner sorted. A freezing night, just kept adding layers. First time I have slept in thermals. HH said it was 7* in the insulated freezer box, so it must have been colder in the open.
