We selected a place to camp in a town called Franklin in the Huon Valley. A nice little place on the banks of the Huon River, which is wide and deep at this point, and which has Ye Olde Franklin Hotel just across the road!
Karen has had a long standing love affair via the TV with Matthew Evans through his TV programme "The Gourmet Farmer" in which he documents his move to the Tasmanian town of Cygnet and his attempts to grow his own food and produce his own delicious little treats.
Anyway, we found ourselves near this town so we paid it a visit.
We both fell in love with the town. It is a lovely place that is full of character and just a perfect size to make it livable. We even started looking at houses (the prices are so CHEAP you wouldn't believe it) that we might consider and they were pretty decent places.
We decided to not buy anything on impulse though so there have been no additions to the property portfolia.
Yet.
On our return to Franklin we called by the pub to find the main pub closed, but they have a separate bar that looks like a biker bar with great music and decent beer.
We're happy!
