20.12.2007 – Thursday 20 December – 7 Mile Beach

Evening

• With 3280 kilometres on the car, we’ve set up camp at Seven Mile Beach for $15.

Morning

• We dropped the car back to Lo-Cost Autos, who changed the brake pads while we wandered Hobart, had an iced chocolate and an iced coffee, and some quite good nachos for lunch.

Afternoon

• After picking the newly-fixed car up from Lo-Cost Autos, I drove to the Shot Tower, Bronwen swam in the icy water at Kingston Beach (just so she could say she’d swum in Tasmania), we looked out at lookouts, went shopping, walked along Seven Mile Beach, and are now packing in readiness for our 9:15am flight tomorrow, hopefully arriving 10:50 in Brisbane, with Virgin Blue.
