FRIDAY 16 - SATURDAY 17.12.2011: Onward to Sheffield and the Sheffield Football and Cricket Club Freedom Camp (yes we watched
a game of cricket). Sheffield has become a major tourist attraction due to its' promotion as the "Town of Murals". The first town mural was painted in Sheffield in December 1986. Since then over 60 murals depicting the area's rich history and beautiful natural scenery are painted on walls scattered throughout the town and buildings along the roadside. The murals attract an estimated 120,000 people to the town annually. We visited the Emporium and purchased yet another Chess Set, the 'World of Marbles' (glass art) and the renowned Cherry Shop.

Called into Tasmazia and the Village of Lower Crackpot (very appropriate!). The world of Tasmazia is a crazy complex located in the wonderfully named town of Promised Land in the heart of Tasmania's beautiful Cradle Mountain and Lakes District. Tasmazia includes 8 mazes, featuring The Great Maze, reputedly the world's largest, as well as The Village of Lower Crackpot, a whimsical model village built to 1/5th scale. Needless to say we ended up terribly lost in the mazes and expended a considerable amount of energy trying to find our way "out"! 
Finished with a trip to Lake Barrington International Rowing Centre. Lake Barrington is 20 kilometers long and provides an international standard course for rowing, skiing and canoeing competitions. We report with pride that the Leyland Sisters have FINALLY fired the generator albeit if only to recharge our camera battery - have to start somewhere!
