TASMANIA - BRIDPORT TO RANSON BEACH - 10 TO 13 APRIL 2022

 10 APRIL

BRIDPORT

We camped at Bridport next to a small and pretty beach. I had a cycle along the foreshore which led past a number of small beaches and one long beach. The tracks detoured into the hinterland making this another fun bike ride.

We made a fire for the night.

BRIDPORT TO RANSON BEACH

Last night the hatchet broke when I was chopping firewood. We left Bridport and made a detour to Scottsdale to purchase a new axe.

The drive to Ranson Beach was along a long straight road past grazing farms. Probably the longest straight road we drove along in Tasmania.

The turn off for the beaches was along a long-corrugated gravel road. It was a bit tricky in parts but we eventually made it to Ranson Beach free camp.

We settled into a nice camp site under a wide pine tree. A short walk and we were on the beach. The beach was long with a boulder point at the eastern end.

We walked along the beach once we were settled.

Later, I had a cycle along beach and the next long beach.

A fire that night where were joined by Annie, who was camped next to us.

12 APRIL

RANSON BEACH

In the morning, I had a cycle along the hinterland and beaches to the west. There was one good view spot and lots of beaches and other camp areas.

In the afternoon, I had a kayak along shore towards west. The ocean was calm and there were a number of rocky outcrops to paddle around. The water was crystal clear.

Another night fire with Annie.

13 APRIL

RANSON BEACH

The morning sunrise was beautiful with a fog over the ocean.

We packed and said our goodbyes to Annie.

Going westwards.
