Time to pick up some supplies for dinner. We headed to Ross O’Meara’s farm where he raises heritage, rare breed pigs (as seen on Gourmet Farmer). Unfortunately Ross was at the markets in Launceston, but his wife Emma brought us out some slow cooked pork shoulder that he’d prepared for us.

Mr. Snook made a friend. That’s Emma and Felix in the background. (He was adorable and told us all about how he helps his Dad.)

Back at Camp, it was time to kick back and relax while the boys prepared another amazing feast.

Tonight’s cheese board was from Ashgrove Cheese, which we had plans to visit later in the week.

And here’s the amazing confit of trout and salmon. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos of the any of the rest of the food! I was too busy enjoying it. Tender wallaby, Ross’s pork with flatbread and apple slaw, and a lovely dessert of gelato and fudge to finish. I was less scared of the random wallaby thumps that night and had a great sleep in our cozy tent.

Day three began with the Mavista Nature Walk, a very short track through the rainforest along a creek.

It was very pretty though. The “waterfall” was hilariously anticlimactic – just a little spot where the creek narrowed and spilled over a rock!

After we cleaned the leeches off our shoes (*shudder*), we headed towards Adventure Bay. Bruny famously has some white wallabies, and Rob thought we might be able to find them at an abandoned campground. (He had permission to take us there.)

The campground was pretty cool, and I hope they reopen it. I liked this building decorated with whale bones.

Everything was green with new leaves and often in bloom.

We never did spot any of the white wallabies, but this brown fella posed for us for several minutes!

Boing boing!
