Tas - Freycinet Penninsula

After leaving Port Arthur we drove up the coast road passing through several small towns along the way. The country side is dotted with cattle and sheep farms, vineyards, fruit and berry farms, very picturesque but much dryer than the green lushness of the west coast.

We spent two days at Coles Bay on the edge of the National Park where the famous Wineglass Bay is nestled. We walked one and a half kilometres to the top of the lookout on a beautiful sunny day only to find that my camera did not work. Frustrating as the view is stunning. There was no way that I would attempt this walk again so soon. It was a workout.

However the other bays in the area are quite beautiful.This is a kayakers, camping and bush walkers haven. As well as many B & B’s in the area there are also two five star resorts. We had a wonderful wine tasting afternoon at The Freycinet Lodge trying some of the local wines and produce.
