    Arrived in Devonport

    8 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    Arrived safely in Devonport 🤗 the swell wasn't as bad as I was expecting and having your own cabin is an absolute must when travelling on the Spirit. Especially when you have to wear a mask when you are walking around the ferry.

    It ended up being a lovely night and we both slept relatively well. I managed to get wages finished as we were driving off the ferry which was great.

    Now ready to start exploring 🥰    Okumaya devam et

    Crayfish Creek Campground

    8 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    We left Devonport and headed to Leven Canyon, a beautiful canyon about 40 minutes from Ulverstone, really pretty drive out there and so many daffodils just growing wild along the road.

    The circuit has two amazing lookouts and 697 steps in between them! We decided to do the track anticlockwise so we were going up the stairs not down them which was much easier. We ended finishing, getting the done and heading back to the top lookout to get a couple of shots.

    Then we headed down the road and went to the canyon floor. Was just amazing how much water going down the gorge.

    We headed into Penguin and made some lunch next to the beach, then had a drive though the pretty town and headed west to find a caravan park or cabin because the wind was getting stronger and rain is coming in.

    We ended up at Crayfish Creek Caravan Park a quirky park with lots of rustic features. We were glad of the camp kitchen tonight with the rain coming down.    Okumaya devam et

    West Point Reserve to Arthur River

    9 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    After lunch we headed to Arthur River for the night detouring along the way to West Point Reserve.

    This area is apparently popular for its big waves with surfers, though there's no chance you'd get me in the water here! The area is so wild and beautiful. So many different coloured rocks, orange, yellow and white.

    Headed on to Arthur River and camping at one of the Arthur River Conservation Campsites. A beautiful night, with Bart even being able to watch the football on his tablet 😄    Okumaya devam et

    Stanley

    9 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    We woke to the sad news that the Queen had passed away. It's funny the things in life you remember. Places you were when significant things happened. I guess we'll always remember sitting in the sunshine at a little camp-site at Crayfish Creek, Tasmania when we heard that the Queen had died. What an amazing woman she was.

    After cooking breakfast and enjoying the sunshine we packed up and headed to Stanley.

    We drove straight to 'The Nut' and headed up the very steep walk to the plateau and then did the walk around the top. The views were amazing! Well worth the stop. We decided we didn't want to spend $24 for the chair lift coming back down so walked it.

    The township is so beautiful, historic and very well kept, we started driving through but I'd keep getting him to stop so I could jump out and get a photo so we stopped and wandered around. Had lunch at the old Stanley Hotel which was lovely though Bart had to duck through all the doorways 😄

    About to head to Arthur River for the night.    Okumaya devam et

    The Edge of the World & Sundown Point

    10 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    We woke to a cooler drizzly day, with a Scottish mist rolling through every so often. We managed to get breakfast in before it got heavier but washed up and packed up a little quicker than usual.

    After heading to the information centre and picking up some maps for the area and the 60 short walks book. We headed to the edge of the world lookout Point.

    The West Coast is definitely living up to its wind and windy name today, as you took a step you'd have to lean into the wind to save being blown over 😄

    The final stop before heading to Corinna was Sundown Point Reserve, we did the 4WD track out to Arthur Beach and had a look around the impressive rock formations. Again we were rugged up against the wind and misty rain.

    Was nice to get back into the warmth of the car. Now setting off to Corinna 🤗    Okumaya devam et

    Zeehan

    10 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

    We planned to spend the night at Corinna and headed down the Western Explorer Highway which is mainly unsealed road. You get areas of bitumen when your going up or down a steep windy section.

    We stopped at an area next to the road at Donaldson River and cooked toasted sandwiches in the rain 🌧 before continuing onto Corinna.

    It had been raining steadily all morning and once we got to Corinna it had really set in. The Campsites there were tiny and very wet (you really needed gumboots!) We had paid for a site (which was way too expensive for what it was! Especially when you had to pay for showers as well 🙄) so we decided to continue on instead. Bart went in and asked for our money back (I was too chicken 😄) and he paid for us to get across the Fatman Ferry and we continued on.

    It took about 40 minutes to get to Zeehan where we found the one and only caravan park has closed as a caravan park and only has cabins! After looking around the town (which was dead!) We had the option of a bed at the Cecil Hotel or back at Zeehan Bush Camp, we headed back there and booked a cabin for the night.

    A hot shower was very much appreciated.

    We wouldn't bother coming down that way again, it was probably the best day to do it though, with the weather the way it was. Because it's all very much the same, not much to see on the way. Corinna was certainly not worth the money either, the walks may be good but was way too wet for us to do them.    Okumaya devam et

    Zeehan to Strahan

    11 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

    We were thankful to be in a cabin when we woke this morning, listening to the rain coming down and being able to have a hot shower 😄

    It was hard to get going knowing we were heading out into the cold and rain but finally braved it and headed off to the Spray Tunnel, which apparently has flow worms in it. I thought there was a 1km walk to get there but arrived to find you could park right near the entrance (you just have to walk if you have a motorhome or caravan) so that worked out really well.

    It's a cool old tunnel 100m long built to bring tanks through to the tin mine. We didn't see any glow worms though, maybe you need to go at night for them 🤷🏽‍♀️

    As we were driving out of Zeehan we saw a pioneer cemetery 1891-1930 which was really interesting and well worth the stop. It's like they just put the graves wherever, there is no order and so many are overgrown. We even saw two wooden headstones!

    We continued onto Strahan and meandered though the timber shops. The smell of Huon pine is just beautiful.

    With the weather so unpredictable we ended up getting a package deal for accommodation and tickets on the Gordon River Cruise tomorrow 🤗 (handy having RACQ membership, it saved us an extra $45 which I was very happy about)

    The sun came out at lunchtime so we were able to make lunch in a park and did the Hogarth Falls walk which was lovely, before heading back into Strahan to find our room for the night, we just managed to get our stuff out of the car before the rain and wind hit again!    Okumaya devam et

    Heritage Trail & Sarah Island

    Yes, there was no way I could just choose 10 photos for the whole day! So here are a few more from the two stops.

    Gordon River Cruise

    12 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Today we headed out on the Gordon River Cruise, we splashed out and decided to purchase the premium tickets which gave you top deck seating (large recliner chairs, angled towards the windows) and all your food and drinks. We weren't sure if we'd done the right thing till we went on it today, and it was worth the money.

    We loved the cruise, departing at 8:30 this morning. They had breakfast items for us first thing, before taking us out to Hells Gate. Just incredible the walls that were built by convicts to naturally dredge the entrance to Macquarie Harbour.

    Then back past Sarah Island and Grummet Rock before entering Gordon River where the boat was changed over to electric engines so we cruised down the river quietly.

    We stopped at Heritage Landing first for a walk around the untouched rainforest then continued onto Sarah Island (having lunch on the way). Sarah Island was so interesting, a tiny island that has seen so much!

    Then headed back to Strahan. The Cruise took 6 hours and we had 4 seasons today. Started in the sunshine, then rain and wind (a couple of times!) And then hail/sleet twice!

    Such a great day. So glad we went. But I have no idea how I'm going to choose only 10 photos 🤷🏽‍♀️    Okumaya devam et

    Queenstown to Linda Creek Campground

    13 Eylül 2022, Avustralya ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We woke to a beautiful day, blue sky and super cold.

    Queenstown was the first stop for us today, we weren't expecting much after reading a few reviews of the area but we were pleasantly surprised and ended up spending most of the day wandering around the area. Mt Owen towering over Queenstown really makes it look beautiful, and to top it off there was a sprinkling of snow on the top of it today 🥰

    The museum had so much information in it you could spend a day there. The old Empire Hotel is just beautiful inside, with a staircase that was built in England, they sent the wood over from here and then sent it back to be constructed!

    After a short walk up to a lookout over the township we headed off for a drive around and stopped at the pioneer cemetery 1895-1905. This cemetery is on a hill which would have made carrying caskets to the grave sites quite difficult!

    Just out of town is Horsetail Falls a short half hour return walk. But gives great views of the surrounding area.

    The amount of mountain bike tracks in the area is just insane! If you were into downhill mountain biking Queenstown is definitely the place to go.

    Across the road (to the entrance of Horsetail Falls walk) is another lookout Iron Blow which is the remainder of an old open cut mine. You can drive right up to this lookout.

    Originally we planned to head to Derwent Bridge for the night but after spending so long looking around Queenstown we checked wikicamps for a Freecamps campsite. The second one we looked at was perfect, so set up for the night looking out over Lake Burbury.    Okumaya devam et
