Two Moto Kiwis: Trial Harbour To Strahan

Exiting Trial Harbour our first encounter was fire trucks and tankers, 3 fires had been started by the lightning and the fire service was very quickly onto it, their response time was impressive given the remoteness of the area.

Trial Harbour gets the seal of approval, confirmed.

Next desto, Strahan, planned to be here 2 nights in a caravan park again due to impending manky weather, arriving just after lunch at Strahan our planned slow ride in between weather cells worked as it provided onboard entertainment riding down the road.

Drying the tent out on our parking spot with the patch of sun we were forced to swing it over onto the grass as the atmosphere turned black again, we nailed the tent down just in time and threw everything inside closing the vestibules down as very heavy drops started to plaster the landscape, the idea of staying here was realized as a good one as we stood undercover at the camp games room watching mum nature get very angry with flashes of lightning and the extremely loud booms all in the same second, it was impressive.

Very heavy rain, then hail, wind and more hail……argh stuff we love when camping LOL.

At camp we met Alex from Uruguay which was cool having a chat with him.

Being tough and kiwi we booked another night, to be honest there is lots to do and see here so our impromptu spare day became a day trip to Macquarie Heads with (attempted) fishing, we had bought 0.5 kg scallops the day prior so I was trying to Jinx out the fish ….but nah, later on the scallops turned out to be the winner.

At the jetty, no fush 😐
