Not a bad spot for a boat ramp, or an overnight stop…
We are still down the South of the State, in the Coals Bay area. A nice quiet overnighter, then into Swansea for a morning walk around.
A quick stop at the Pondering Frog Cafe. frogs everywhere, before we made camp for the next few days at the Lagoons in Freycinet National Park
This is a good area to access some of the walks and beautiful scenery around the south, and also a nice place at the end of each day. No one else around and fun with the camera.
The next day we headed into Wineglass Bay, a very popular spot, but very chilly that morning.
To warm ourselves up we did the walk up to the Cape Tourville lighthouse.
We did the full Cape circuit, taking in all the little bays
Even going down the rocky cliff face and onto some of the beaches, it was a beautiful day and a great walk. Sleepy Bay was especially nice, and gave us a chance to have a rest.
Looking a bit like rain when we got back to the van. The next day we had a leisurely day as it did end up raining most of the day. The first full day of light rain, in 7 weeks, and they sure needed it. Albeit a whole 20 ml I’m thinking.
After our day off, it was back to some serious walking. A two hour, 600 step, trail from Wineglass Bay to the Wineglass Bay Lookout.
There was plenty of cute seating along the well maintained track, just as well, as there wasn’t really any views, only lots of rocks as the walk takes you up and inland.
But when we finally got to the top , what a view.
Even though it is a very rocky area, I still found it interesting and took lots of photos. When I’m under some of these towering rocks just balancing there, I can’t help but think it’s like life itself ,just one big balancing act.
Oh and I’m told there was 1000 steeps back down to the car park. It was well worth doing. Down is good for me, it’s the incline that gets me overheated.
The next morning we moved on to a Park in the paddock, going through some small towns and doing some shopping in Campbell Town. This little church was in Cranbrook .
Renovations on a house near Aspley
We had a lovely day in Oatlands. Such a lovely town, home to the Callington flour mill ,that is now a Distillery and all the old buildings are open to look through. So well restored and set in a nice leisure park.
Another beautiful sunny warm day to be wandering around, we have been so lucky with the weather.
A pretty sheep and a idiot goat !
These trees took my eye in a school yard, with their autumn colours.
I couldn’t help but notice, one flag at the Cenotaph in Oatlands. Well done.
Today we met up with our wandering friends again.They are staying not far away and came to check out Ross. We were having a quite day also. Ross is a great town ,so many specality shops Wool, wood and antiques to look through.
And how about the workmanship on this old church.
Guess these 3 are solving the problems of the world, or Tasmania at least.
Take a good look at this wedding dress. Yes they are Zip ties.!!
How lovely is the lace iron work on the Post Office in Ross.
Below is the Bakery we had our vanilla slice, morning tea at, before we went our separate way
it was just sprinkling with rain as we stopped for some photos of the Ross Bridge.
Now back at the paddock for a night of footy. We move on tomorrow.
