TASMANIA - FREYCINET PENINSULA - 31 MARCH TO 2 APRIL 2022

 31 MARCH

FREYCINET PENINSULA

We left the Friendly Beaches and headed south towards the FREYCINET PENINSULA. We booked at camp site and continued on towards the start of the WINEGLASS BAY LOOKOUT WALK. It was an easier walk than what we had been led to believe. It was a gradual climb to a number of lookouts across Coles Bay and Wineglass Bay. It rained a little during the walk but at the top the views were clear and spectacular.

We gradually walked back to the van and drove to CAPE TOURVILLE. There was a lighthouse and a short walk that traverse the top of the cliff. The views north and south were excellent and the wind was ferocious.

We drove to our campsite, settled in, had a long hot shower and relaxed through the rest of the afternoon.

FREYCINET PENINSULA

33^rd wedding anniversary today.

After a sleep in we had a walk along the nearby beach. It was only going to be a short stroll but we ended up walking 5 km to the far end of the beach and back.

Later in the afternoon, we had wine and cheese on the beach in a sheltered corner. We were entertained by the seagulls steaking out their territory.

Just before sunset, we had a tasty dinner at the local pub. Greta food and wine. The waitress was from Chitwan in Nepal. We had stayed there years ago doing hiking and elephant rides in the national park.
