Rocks - Bay of Fires; not so named for the firey look as people commonly think
More rocks
Oyster Bay near Bicheno
Hi Folks,
A big driving day today. We awoke to a mild sunny morning at The Bay of Fires, so called by an early explorer, who while sailing down the coast sighted many camp fires lit by the natives. The area is picturesque and will be worth a return visit.
After breakfasting we packed and headed on our way. We decided to drive down the coast to Bicheno on our way home. The coastal strip is described as Tasmania's Sunshine Coast and it certainly was today. After having coffee we headed inland and through the historic town of Richmond which looked an interesting place worth returning to. We went to Cambridge on the outskirts of Hobart to visit Anaconda for some socks and shirts on special. I also purchased a bit more fishing gear to replace that which was lost in the last couple of weeks.
We then travelled the familiar route towards Nubeena with a quick stop at Sorell for food and fuel. The trip home was uneventful and we were soon catching up with the news from the resort and a shared tea.
We now have our own unit so we have some unpacking and settling in to do. Susan is off early tomorrow to attend a cheese making workshop with Lynne, while I have to learn the mysteries of pool and spa maintenance. It is only 3 days until the experienced people leave so we have to get up to speed quickly.
cheers Simon
