We put on our explorer hats, and drove down the Great Western Highway to view the spectacular Tarkine Wilderness. The stark white sandy gravel road wound it way through the harsh yet brilliant country offering one spectacular view after the other, leaving you feeling that you were the only travelers visiting its shores.

I bought some bait and again tried my hand fishing at the Pieman River. As I returned to camp, Adam gleefully informed me that I was the worst fisherman - ever! Ah - don't you love kids.
Again, as we left in the morning, true to form, it rained again. The inside of the tent was covered in mud, as were we and the camper-trailer. Damp, downtrodden, and a little miserable to say the least, we managed to leave this rainy paradise, crossed, the ferry and headed south. On the way to Strahan we did a detour to see the enormous Reece Dam.

As it was the Easter weekend, would we find accommodation or were all the campgrounds full?
Sorry to hear about the rain but you sound like you are having an amazing time. Dont worry about the fishing Vin - its much better to spend the afternoon in the pub and buy fish in a shop ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Vin
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time, hope you found accommodation in Strahan, it is a lovely little place. The boat trips up the harbour are great. So is the seaplane which lands up near the Franklin!
