St Helens

Today was a travelling day as we moved from the north west coast over to the north east coast to the town of St Helens.
It was a relatively short journey but we managed, so it seemed, to take in every part of the British Isles.
Leaving Ulverstone we passed Devonport then Westbury before bypassing Launceston (sitting on the River Tamar) to Perth.
Taking the Midland Highway we passed through Epping Forest and Cleveland prior to turning off onto the Esk Main, which follows the River Esk to Cornwall. At St Mary's we branched off towards Falmouth and passed through Beaumaris before we arrived at St Helens.
All pitched up and ready to go at 3pm we wandered into the town to catch the tourist information office before it shut down for the day.
The lady was very helpful, so we returned to base to plan the next few days. The campsite was filling up quickly when we returned. Monday is a public holiday in Tasmania, named Recreation Day, so obviously many people making the most of the long weekend.Read more
