West Tasmania

TALLOW BAY this is sunset on the bay in front of the caravan park at Stanley. Had a lovely few days there although it was very windy at times and you felt like you had been sand blasted. When we did the walk of the Stanley nut after going up in the cable car forgot to mention that there were a lot of flies, you had to walk with your mouth closed and felt like you should even wear ear plugs.

CRADLE MOUNTAIN Yesterday we left Stanley and drove through to Strahan, the roads are very steep and winding as you go around and over mountains and gorges, this was just one of the spectacular views, presume it is part of Cradle mountain as the turn off to there was just a few km's up the road. It takes a few hours to get here and not a lot of villages along the way or traffic.

STRAHAN is a very pretty town, quaint and touristy. It has the second largest harbour in Australia, the first being Port Melbourne. We have a great site at the caravan park, nice and grassy after Stanley that was very sandy. Booked here for four nights, in fact we are enjoying Tasmania so much that we have extended our stay by a week.
MACQUARIE HARBOUR is the name of the harbour here, we did a trip today that took us out through Hells Pass to the Southern Ocean then came back around the harbour and up the Gordon River. There are no roads in this large park that is world heritage listed, it is very pretty and tranquil. Have had another great day!
