We left Port Arthur and headed straight up to Freycinet National Park, which was a bit of an adventure! At home, you can largely get between major destinations without leaving main roads - not so much in Tasmania! Our maps took us along what appeared to be a major road but was in fact a gravel lane, largely one lane, full of hairpin turns and beautiful views. We made it, and cut an hour off our travel time, but wondered a few times if the road might just end!
As we drove away from Port Arthur, the rain and wind picked up. We decided to postpone our afternoon hike to tomorrow morning - it will still be raining, but hopefully not so hard. As a consolation, though, we found that the views from both the local restaurant we stopped at for dinner and our cabin are breathtaking even in the rain. And the wallabies hopping around all over around our cabin don't hurt. (They are just as cute as you'd think when then hop around!) And now, off to enjoy the view and our dessert before an early bedtime, so we can be up early tomorrow to try to hike both Freycinet National Park and some
of Cradle Mountain National Park!
