Started the day walking Binalonga beach (it really is called that) is officially voted as one of the 3 best beaches in the world. And yes, you can whale watch in winter. Both kinds.
From there we drove into the Freycenet National Park (24 dollars to get in). It sports a range of walks for most abilities, starting with fairly strenuous. We took the 5 hour, 2 beach, climb over the rock for the stunning views tour called Wineglass bay/ Hazards Beach circuit. Serious bush walking and wallaby spotting. Plus the 5-foot long tiger snake that slithered its way past a petrified Pia. “Den’t tread on them mate. They’ll killya”. Oh. Thanks. Must bear that in mind.
Heading back to Launceston we came across the foxhunters return in Capbell Town. Paid 139 dollars and expected a run of the mill B&B. Got 4 star luxury and 5 star service from a place that was an old coaching house. Steel poster beds, gold fittings, extra rooms, the whole kit. Plus a tour of the cellars and the grounds around. The landlord had only bought it 4 weeks ago. With the great service we got, it’s bound to be a roaring success. Don’t you just love people who dare to follow their dreams?
Hmm. Descending into Sydney – for better or worse. Time to stop writing.
