TASMANIA - FRIENDLY BEACHES - 30 TO 31 MARCH 2022

 30 MARCH

FRIENDLY BEACHES

After leaving Mayfield, we stopped at SPIKY BRIDGE. A convict-built bridge with spikes of stone jutting up from the stone railings. The bridge itself was constructed in a layered pancake fashion. It looked very sturdy.

We drove a short distance to SPIKY BEACH. A great view along the coast and a short walk down to the beach. All very pretty.

We stopped briefly at Swansea for coffee.

Next was the FRIENDLY BEACHES. We were lucky and claimed a free campsite opposite a small white sand beach. The wind was strong and we were reasonably protected from it by the thick vegetation. A walk along the beach and the rocks towards the south. There were a lot of birds on the beach – gulls and oyster catchers. The coastline was very pretty with the Freycinet Peninsula in the distance.

31 MARCH

FRIENDLY BEACHES

It rained a little during the night and we woke to less strong winds. I had an early walk along the beach and after breakfast we decided to head off.
