TASMANIA - ROSEBERY TO STRAHAN - 3 TO 6 MARCH 2022

 3 MARCH

ROSEBERY TO STRAHAN

We drove to the track Head at Oonah Hills. The best mountain bike ride I’ve ever had. A long climb to the top and an awesome downhill along groomed tracks – wide berms, steep berms, long flowy sections, ups and downs and steep speed runs. The terrain changed from low shrubbed hilltop to thick myrtle forest.



Next was the Spray Tunnel. A pretty drive with a long disused mining train tunnel to walk through.

We stopped at Zeehan for lunch at a café and drove to Strahan.

Before checking in we drove along the waterfront – pretty.

4 MARCH

STRAHAN

A lazy day riding our bikes through the town. We checked out the waterfront and stopped at a number of shops and brought some wood souvenirs and rain jackets.





5 MARCH

STRAHAN

A drive to Ocean Beach and a wander along the beach. Water warm.




Next, Macquarie Head. A rough gravel road with some nice views along the way.




A bike ride on the Ocean Beach track. Easy and fun. A Tasmanian Tiger Snake on the path close to the beach. A wander along the beach.






An open-air play – ‘The Ship That Never Was’ – It was fun with a lot of audience participation.

A banquet dinner at View 42 with a nice bottle of wine. The weather changed to strong wind and rain.

6 MARCH

STRAHAN

We woke to clear skies and a little windy.






A cruise today along Macquarie Harbour – Macquarie Heads, Hells Gate, hike around Sarah Island, Gordon River and Rainforest Walk. They were all good and the boat was great. Food a little ordinary.
