THE SKATE GYPSY + 2 AUSTRIANS

DAY 7

The Night earlier we had missioned from Coles Bay to Launceston driving into one of the most incredible sun sets I had ever seen, it was like a scene out of a movie.  We arrived in Launceston at dusk and missioned up Mt Aurthur to stay with my homie Hugh who's family owns a 96 acre block of land with two houses they had built themselves and a veggie patch with enough food to supply a small town.  We sank some ale's and shared stories of past travels and this weeks sights then headed off to sleep.  Woke, Chilled & ventured back down the mountain and decided to hit up some of the Launceston op-shops which are gold mines - I don't know what happens up there but certainly not op shopping because every time I go I find big.  We swung by a local super market picked up some chicken, rolls, tomato, cheese and whatever else to make our lunch which we then ate at the Launceston Gorge - what a spot! Big lake to swim in, big pool to swim in and peacocks roaming the scene.  After a relaxing day we thought we might get a little skate in at this natural snake run spot I had remembered from years ago - again I don't know whats happening up in Launceston this spot is bullshit good for a DIY spot!!! (HINT HINT) Thomas and Alex charged the run with no fear which was rad to watch & that was the end of our day.   The next morning we woke up early and drove to the airport - it was sad to see the homies go but just seeing how much they enjoyed Tasmania gave me a little faith it wouldn't be the last time these bad men would be on our shores.  

I just want to drink
make party
and Fuck around.
