Having had such a terrible nights sleep I happily packed up my tent and said goodbye to my temporary neighbours, the lovely Jill and Ken from Melbourne. I set off south into Glamorgan Spring Bay. As I drove over the Wye River there were two signs. The first said, 'WYE RIVER' and the second, 'Coz it's bigger than a creek'. It took me a while...!On arrival in Swansea I headed straight for the info centre to book some accommodation for tonight. I...

Freycinet National Park is a peninsula south of Bicheno. It's main site is Wineglass Bay and is one of the top 'must-sees' in Tassie. Keen to avoid the hoards, I had walked up the 800 steps to the look out by 9am. I stopped for some pics and chat with two couples, who both agreed that although it was beautiful they preferred the bay of fires beaches, me too! I walked down a very steep path to the beach itself with squeaky white sands and clear blue wa...

Beautiful white beaches with clear Bombay Sapphire seas. Sunny but not too hot and with a perfect breeze. The rocks he...

I enjoyed my sleep in a proper bed last night, knowing it was the last for a week. I checked out of Elphin Villas and paid for my phone calls, having finally secured a fortescue campsite booking just minutes before. The airport shuttle picked me up from my door and took me 20k out of town to the airport, where a nice chap picked me up and have me my new hire car, a Hyundai i20. It reminds me of the Micra I first drove, as she is also red. I will call her Lily. An...
