We headed to a little town called St Helens which is where we would get all our supplies for Christmas. Not too far away was another free campsite called Swimcart beach and again, we parked up right on the beachfront. It was stunning and the beach was empty. The surf was pretty rough and took me tumbling a few times.

We booked a morning on a fishing charter whilst we were in St Helens. Chris fairly annoyed because I caught 20 fish to his 11 :)

Policemans Point
We stayed at the Bay of Fires for a few days just chilling out before heading to Policemans Point to spend Christmas Day. It was really secluded and just what we wanted for Christmas and it was free again, although no facilities at this one which meant.....
We spent Christmas eve chilling on the beach, swimming, eating lots of BBQ food, drinking our xmas booze and relaxing round a campfire with marshmallows. We both really missed home on Christmas day and called our families for a chat. We had a recovery fry up along with a breakfast beer. The day finished with a thunderstorm which lit up the sky. It was a great first Christmas together.

Lauceston
Lauceston is the second city of Tasmania but I thought it was way better than Hobart. The weather was great and the Cataract Gorge was brilliant. We swam in the lake and jumped off the rocks like big kids.
Marion Bay
For New Years we went to the Falls festival at Marion Bay. Arctic Monkeys were one of the headline acts so we was really excited. The first night was soul disco so we spent the night dancing away, although we definitely drunk way too much. The beach here is beautiful, just a shame it was absolutely packed with festival folks.
Most the the acts were American or Australian and I hadn't really heard of many but Aloe Black was great. DJ Yoda was hilarious! We had an amazing time and don't think there are many better locations for a music festival or to spend new years.
Hobart
On New Years Day we headed back to Hobart to the Taste Festival. I have never eaten so much in my life! After trying literally a little bit of everything on offer we were well and truely stuffed!! Great for our hangovers :)
