Corinna, Pieman River

Today we sailed up the Pieman River to the beach for quite a long walk to the Conical Rocks.

The coastline was pretty rugged and wild. We passed a small settlement of fisherman's houses. I couldn't imagine a more remote and wild place to live being constantly whipped by the winds the buffet the West Coast of Tasmania.

Once again the weather was kind and it was sunny. The Conical Rocks are massive multi-coloured rock formations running down to the ocean, making it hard to get to the beach on the headland where they perch.

It was a lovely place to sit and just enjoy.

On the way back on the boat to Corinna we were followed by an eagle and the captain pointed out the Huon pines and the strange way that they grow sideways. They also have male and female trees.

We finished the day with a walk through the forest that surrounds this old mining town.

We had our final dinner together in the restaurant in the 'resort' and the food was really good - huge portions, we all struggled to finish our meals.Read more
