Went north/east and down the east coast

Left Launceston and headed north east to the east coast, then followed the coast down to Swansea. Another great drive where we saw a very blue but toxic lake, its a man made lake where all the natural minerals when mixed with the water created this brilliant blue lake , so sad its toxic it look great for a swim. On out to the coast and down through some beautiful little hamlets till we got to Swansea. There Nik’s and Andy had booked another air B&B which kindly had enough room for us. Stayed a couple of days here checking out the town and of course another oyster farm. Nik’s and Andy ate their fill while Bess and myself just watched on. I bought a shucking knife there as there are plenty of oysters on the rocks around Tasmania and they are a lot cheaper, there for the taking and just require a little work, also I can crumb them and cook them. We were going to walk to wine glass bay but after Nik’s tumble on the last walk we decided to give it a miss ( Bess and I might come back and do it at a later date). From here we followed the coast until we had to go inland and over some very high hills through some beautiful forests , road a bit rough but magnificent scenery. Ended up at another air B&B at a place called Taranna , not far from port Arthur, and our next tour.Read more
