    Freycinet NP, Tasmania

    February 8, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Managed to swing a couple of nights at a beautiful campground called Richardson's Beach. Spots are ballotted for the high season in August! I called and there happened to be 2 nights available 👏👏👏 #winning

    After setting up, we walked up to the Lighthouse Lookout and Sleepy Bay Lookout.

    The 2nd day we headed off on the hike that had brought us to this destination...Wineglass Bay. The pack was fully stocked - Pete mentioning that it was the heaviest he'd felt it 🤷‍♀️
    The track up to the Lookout was steep but soooo worth it - absolutely amazing views!!
    We continued on down to the Bay...we hit the gorgeous white sand but there was a hectic Easterly blowing...looking to the end of the bay it seemed more sheltered, so off we went...4km along the beach (great for exfoliating the tootsies!) encountering a washed up seal on the way 😢
    Arriving 25 mins later to no wind, warm sunshine and the clearest water ever!! Hooray!! Pete actually got in the water before me...we hung out here for a couple of hours then braced ourselves for a further 2 hours to complete the circuit. After hiking across to Hazards Beach we were amazed how beautiful that was also...we'd had a fantastic day hiking 17.96kms and needless to say - we slept like the dead!!
    This was definitely a highlight and we're chuffed we got to experience it 🥰
