LOCATION: North coast of Tasmania.
WEATHER: Cool in the morning, Sunny in PM, high about 70
We has breakfast in the communal kitchen. These blokes were cooking a full English breakfast on the barby.
One couple raved about a river boat trip on the NW coast, so we rushed around and drove there. We arrived at 10:20 just as the 10:15 boat was leaving. They invited us to jump on, and away we went.
The town of Arthur River has 30 inhabitants year-round. Absolutely quiet. The captain narrated information about the vegetation, animals and birds. There were only two other couples on the boat, and they were expert bird watchers. We saw a beautiful kingfisher. The captain threw out a piece of fish, and this huge eagle swooped down to snatch it.
We cruised down the river for several hours, climbing up top to get a better view.
The boat is called Reflections. Along several parts of the river, it was very calm, creating reflections of the trees on the water. Like a jigsaw puzzle.
