Approximately 24k North West of Ouse and approximately 16k South of Tarraleah is the Thriving Metropolis of Wayatingah (Population about 300) Just near the shopping centre is a small park with an assortment of “mushrooms” that would satisfy the desire of any hippie willing to have a trip. We were lucky enough to find this display on one of our off main road trips.

04th August 2009 - Leven Canyon - 35k South Ulverstone

Located about 9k South West of Nietta or 35k South of Ulverstone, we found another delightful spot for an overnight stopover. This great area among forest and palms has new Septic toilets, a new large fire place in a shelter shed and has plenty of wood supplied. There are several bush walks. One goes to a lookout and another to the bottom of a valley has about 600 steps and returns to the camping area where there are some reasonably level areas for overnight camping. We recommend this picnic / camping area either for a day trip or an overnight stay.

15th July 2009 - Montagu Park - North West Tasmania

Located about 20k West of Smithton on the tip of the North West Tasmania is Montagu Park Camping Area - We had the place to ourselves during our stay in this wonderful large, level shaded and open, well grassed camping area. There are plenty of bins, shelter sheds and septic toilets. There is also a shower cubicle with a hook for those wishing to have a shower. Water is abundant though it requires boiling prior to drinking. The boat ramp gets plenty of use with the locals collecting mussels and doing a bit of fishing. The site is well noted for flounder during the warmer months. This campsite has a caretaker during the summer months and is very popular from November until April each year. We highly recommend this site during the off season for a great place to spend a few days. There are no shopping facilities in the area so stock up well at Smithtown prior to arriving.
