Day 32: Montagu to Low Head

Sunset at Low Head

We enjoyed the peace and relative isolation of Montagu, but it was nice to get to a caravan park where we could have a good shower this day. 

On the way to Low Heads, near the mouth of the mighty Tamar River, we stopped at Ulverstone. David visited the library to print out a form our real estate needed signed and I visited yet another doctor.

Another beach, this one called “Buttons Beach”

I was not experiencing anything like the pain I had over Easter and all the nausea was gone, but I wasn’t convinced that the infection had completely gone as I still had some lingering pain and could feel a little bit of swelling. The doctor agreed and so I got a third course of antibiotics with a phone appointment to followup on Thursday. The doctor owned a motor home that he often takes to the mainland during winter (his wife hates the cold) and that helped with understanding of how transient we are at present.

 

We ate lunch and walked along the beach there—it would be a lovely spot to holiday with kids in warmer weather! We then drove another hour and a half east to the Tamar Valley, across the Batman Bridge, and north to George Town where we shopped and then took up residence in Low Heads Tourist Park.
