Deb's Adventures
It was such a beautiful morning today that we decided to go for a walk before we moved on. We went back to the city park because we saw that they had a Japanese Macaque Exhibit that was closed when we went by yesterday evening. They had a really nice enclosure and were very active and social. There were probably 40 monkeys living in this family unit. We were fascinated by how they interacted with each other. After visiting the Macaques we went for a walk along the water to the marina. We checked out the boats and then headed back to the car.
It is our last day in Tas and I left Eric in charge of planning our day so I had no idea where we were going or what we were doing. We drove south for about an hour and stopped in Campbell Town to see a convict built bridge and some tree trunk carvings. Then we drove another 20 minutes to Ross to stop at a wool museum and shop. The wool museum was as boring as it sounds and their merchandise was outrageously expensive. We could not understand why a sweater was $300 and gloves were $79 and they weren't anything special. We have seen millions of sheep since arriving in Tassie. We did stop at a bakery that had a sign out front boasting about their scallop pies. The pie was fantastic. Way better than the one we had in Hobart a few days ago.
We drove a little further and Eric pulled onto a dirt track that turned on to a smaller dirt track that ended at a sign that said Lost Falls. We were in the middle of nowhere. We go out of the car and walked 10 minutes to the lookout to see the falls. There was nothing there. Apparently the Lost Falls only flow in the spring. We did see a couple of yellow tailed cockatoos which were cool. We were unable to get any pictures before they flew off.
We got back to the paved road and headed back towards the coast. We drove through the town of Swansea and turned off the highway at a place called Kabuki By The Sea. This was a Japanese influenced resort. This was where Eric chose for us to stay the night. By now the wind was blowing and it was pouring down rain. We checked into our cute little cabin right on the water. We cranked up the heat and played dominoes and stayed in for dinner and enjoyed our beautiful views.
