Strahan - last outpost in south-west

If you read the last post, you would have been left wondering if the Ralh family would find accommodation at Easter in Strahan, or would we be left homeless, getting the kids to perform, busking for food and lodgings. Luckily it didn't come to that - there was plenty of spots at the Macquarie Heads Campground - 14km North of Strahan, next to the harbour, We got ourselves a great large spot, shaded by trees for the very considerate price of $6 a night... and they threw in a communal pit dunny too!

We took the Gordon River World Heritage Area day cruise which stopped by Sarah Island, a harsh penal colony. It also included a magnificent walk amongst its damp, untouched forests full of Huon Pine.

In the evening we saw the thoroughly entertaining play The Ship That Never Was, which encouraged audience participation. Adam and Jasmine took part, steering the ship.

One of Robyn's highlights was to find a laundry so we could all get fresh clothes :)
