Tasmaniacs

It takes about an hour to get to Tasmania from the mainland. We flew in early in the morning and arrived in Hobart ready to start our tour of the east coast. Our first stop was Freycinet National Park. This trip was a mix of camping and staying in small, self-sufficient cabins...a very inexpensive way to travel and not too bad, except when it's windy. And it was! It was a lot colder in Tassie than I thought. I think the weather seems to be off and on. Sometimes rainy, sometimes sunny. But always very pretty! We did a 2.5 hour walk in the park, up to Wineglass Bay. And man did we earn that view! Over 600 steps to the lookout...

Another beach-goer...


We also checked out Honeymoon Bay...






Then we headed north to St. Helens where we checked out the Bay of Fires area. Unfortunately it was a drizzly, cold day so we didn't get great pictures of the Bay of Fires itself. But we did get to see Binnalong Bay....
....before we headed south again to see the Tasman Peninsula...
