After leaving Zeehan, we headed South West.
First stop was a lookout with views over Ocean Beach. Also a few bush flowers out there as well.
Then we walked the bush track down onto the beach, before driving out to Macquarie Heads.
The next couple of days we stayed at the Strahan golf club, from there we were able to do day drives
Also there is a lovely rainforest walk and waterfall out from town.
I really liked Strahan, lovely old buildings that have been renovated,and a harbour full of luxury boats. It is a shame that there are a lot of empty shops.
A little coffee shack on the edge of town seem to be the only place doing any business, and their muffins and coffee went down well.
We booked a trip on the Wild West Heritage train
.However the next day was a cloudy and somewhat rainy day. But we enjoyed it.
The journey takes you through the forest over old iron bridges and finally a station stop in the rainforest, where we were treated to honey tasting.
Here the engine shunted to the other end of the carriages, to bring us back into town.
The next morning we left the golf club ground while most camperswere still asleep
Destination Queenstown and a view from the lookout over the gravel football oval where we are camped at the moment.
It’s a town full of Mining history and disasters. Lots of murals and memorials to those that lost their lives.
There are mines everywhere, most of them closed now I think. The views are spectacular looking at the surrounding hills and the open cuts with water in them.
We drove all around the hills, thankfully the van was back safe at camp. The roads were very steep and narrow and all gravel
Chris decided we needed to see another waterfall, way up one of the hills. I said it wouldn’t be running as it is so dry around these hills. Also it was a hot day. OK…we climbed and climbed
And when we got to the top. … Does this look like Horsetail Falls?. I tried to tell him,! Doesn’t even look like a Horsetail to me let alone a waterfall.
Now take me somewhere nice, to end the day .
Yes it’s a nice camping spot out at Bunbury Lake .
We had a look around a pioneer cemetery. So many graves there, but most are just mounds in the ground, some still have headstones dating back to 1800s
The town of Linda, has the remains of the 1910 Pub and one cafe. That’s it ! What a quaint little place, the scones were yummy.
I need a lazy day tomorrow.
