We received our wake up call courtesy of the crew of the Spirit of Tasmania at a quarter to six in the morning. We quickly showered and packed our overnight bag so that we were ready to disembark.
Getting of the ship seemed to take forever (well it seemed that way, even though it was around an hour). We ended up in the lane in which every vehicle was inspected by the sniffer dog, so we had to open the rear of the Pajero, open the toolbox and rear gate on the camper trailer. We were then allowed on our way. We picked up our gas bottle which had been removed from the camper trailer when we boarded.
We found the local McDonalds and had a egg and bacon meal deal. Whilst at McDonalds we noticed Roothy's 4WD, Milo, parked nearby with the other 4 4WD Action crew 4WD's. We were fortunate to talk with Roothy for 5 minutes or so before we excused ourselves and set off for Stanley.
We enjoyed the drive across the top of Tasmania and arrived at Stanley after an hour and a half of driving.
We were able to book-in to our cabin early and then drove the scenic route and took some magnificent video and photos of The Nut.
We had lunch in the Stanley Hotel. The prices were moderately high for the standard of food provided. The food also seemed to go cold very quickly and was not as enjoyable as it ought to have been.
Fortunately we had booked into a cabin, rather than set up the camper trailer, as around 2.30pm the heavens opened up and it poured with rain for an hour and a half before clearing up a little.
