Tasmania 5/1/2008

5/1 Saturday

We left the hotel early and made good time to the Lilydale Falls, were there was lots of wild wallabies, although they weren't as interested in us as we were in them.

I took over the driving after the falls, I need to get the hang of driving an automatic. We didn't stop in Scottsdale as previously planned, as we wanted to get over to the coast as quickly as possible. We did stop at the cheese factory where we had lunch.

Made it to St Helens but early afternoon, but the room wasn't ready, so we went out to the Bay of Fires north of St Helens (eventually - went the wrong way initially and made a brief stop at St Helens Point).

Found Bingalong Bay on the GPS and used it to find the Bay of Fires. Graham complained about my driving and I think I have picked up some bad habits, so I will try to modify my driving and control my speed - its not wise to put me in charge of a car with a 2.5 ltr engine.

The Bay of Fires was very spectacular, took a few pictures - see other posts.

Dinner in St Helens was a simple affair at a pasta restaurant and then a evening watching the TV (mainly British shows).
