LOCATION: Strahan, Tasmania, Australia
WEATHER: Cold on mountain. On and off rain. Highs in 50s
During the night, the temp dropped to freezing. We awoke to sunny skies, so we thought we would hop back on to the park shuttle, back to Dove Lake, for a brighter photo. Unfortunately, it clouded back up by the time we arrived. So after a quick look-around, we returned on the shuttle back to our campground. We packed up and headed west and south.
Our destination was Strahan that had been recommended to us. The scenery between Cradle Mountain and here was pretty rough. They call this area The Wild West. In Strahan, we went to the information center and and bought activity tickets for the next two days. Tomorrow we will go on a World Heritage cruise on the Gordon River.
We drove around the town and out to the beach area. Most of the shops and restaurants are closed for Easter.
In the evening, we went to a play called "The Ship That Never Was", telling the story of how convicts on Sarah Island escaped by building a boat. There were a lot of children in the audience, so the actors involved them a lot. Very cute.
Back at the camper, to our delight, we found that we have TV reception and that "Call the Midwife" was on tonight. This camper has solar panels, so we have electricity without plugging in.
We cooked our dinner in the communal kitchen, then brought it back to the camper to eat while watching my TV show.
DINNER: Lamb and cauliflower. The lamb was mostly bones. We tore off some meat and will use the bony parts for a stew another night.
It's interesting that you are SO far away, and yet we were enjoying the same show!
