Im of for a weekend at Freycinet this weekend.

Sat - Fine 22 degrees;
Sun - Fine 24 degrees.

Yummo!

Amazing how living down here changes your perspective on driving distances. Reading cruzes account of driving all over the state on a long weekend kind of shocked me! But on reflection its all pretty close togethe. When in Melbourne I used to think nothing of driving to Araps for a bouldering day trip if I was board. Now driving to Tasman Peninsula (about an hour) seems like too much of an effort when the weather is good enough to go on the pipes, and the 2.5 hour drive to Hillwood or Freycinet seems a major undertaking.

I cant imagine any climber coming for a trip to Tassie and being disapointed (well ok maybe the weather can be a bit of a downer sometimes).
