Well, we are still in Devonport & have been for 4 days. It has been very relaxing & we have enjoyed the last 4 days quite a lot.We have a booked spot on the ferry in the morning & barring any rule changes or cancellations, we will be on it. W are in a very pretty spot on the waters edge, walking distance from the city centre. We have been doing long walks & catching up on housekeeping & maintenance & the odd afternoon sleep. The Tasmanian premiere has been on the radio & said "tourists go home, we don't want you here" & has given everyone until the 1st of April to get out, except for most people there is no way of doing that. They then proceeded to close caravan parks & camping areas, so people have nowhere to go. For years they have been pushing to get tourists here & now we are treated like leppers. It could have been handled much better & I think many people will remember this & tourism, which is a major industry in this state, will suffer badly in the future.
On a brighter note, the food is GREAT, on our morning walk we picked black berries,& apples growing on the footpath, had slices for morning tea & I have a bucket full of giant oysters, from the water in front of our caravan, which I am going to Kirkpatrick tonight. I guess we all have to make sacrifices.

Low tide, many oysters in front of the camp.

The shops in Devonport have reopened so we spent some time in the Emporium. We were the only people there.
