Hobart to Radelalaide-ites.
Saturday.
Arrived in Tasmania physically drained but mentally elated, lol. Tiny airport.. even Aberdeen airport in the north of Scotland was bigger. Got to hostel, couldnt check in till 2pm so i slept on their tv room sofa for 5 hours.
Met up with Azenis, went to his house n met his wife n 10 month old son Lucas (named after 'Lucas' the old school autoparts company), the Hillman Imp, the Jensen Interceptor, the WRX and the two dogs. Got accused, lol, of being 'clucky' after taking a shine to the baby, played with him, wiping the drool off his face n helping feed him mushy Berger crap. Avoided getting spewed on, had dinner then went n did a looney bin and abandoned cinema up in hillbilly country. Found a mad old auto graveyard full of demo derby Torana's, old Honda S600 coupes n rotaries. Went up to a hill to take in the view over the Derwent. A lack of light pollution made for awesome night skies full of stars. No shops open in central Hobart after 9pm, so went to bed hungry, lol.
Sunday.
Went for a wander, got sunburnt cossa no ozone layer (makes for very clear skies). Met up n did Hobart drain. Total spinout, huge long culverted river with lights all thru it, pieces n tags everywhere. We ran into some graffers. Azenis got pissed off cos they were tagging on old stonework lol.
Went back to his place, played with the squidgy baby n the dogs then went n did Moonah/Newtown drains, which seem to be the current prize in a graffiti gang war oooOOOooo!
Monday.
Walked over to Wrest Point. Got tired, caught a bus back. Went n did Domain Drain. Finally squeezed the glass outta my foot that had been hurtin. Saw a huge water rat n took photos.
Tuesday.
6am flight outta Hobart. My car was still parked in South Yarra (phew). Drove to Geelong to do Cunningham Pier drain, but couldnt get past the normally knee deep pit, which had been rendered waist deep by the high tide... hmmm, nahhh.
The drive to Radelaide was warm... very warm... too warm. Got caught in a minor dust storm which in its full strength tore the roof lining outta my cars ceiling :( Got in at 6pm, drove to Drac n Laque's house, saw he menagerie of animals then drove to an abandoned cinema in Drac's Mini. Had a drive on the way back n went driving 'Italian Job' style thru a city park, going over pedestrian bridges n tunnels. Was goooodah.
