Comments:

Januarys weekly average is higher than usual. This was expected because we have included the cost to travel to Tasmania on the Spirit with our car and caravan. We are actually pleasantly surprised with our expenses this month. The ferry cost was over $1000, if this expense was not included our weekly total would be as low as $586! Free camping opportunities are plentiful in Tasmania, which has helped because the variety of fresh produce is so tempting that expenses could easily skyrocket!
We are extremely happy with this months expenditure.
