After almost no sleep, due to concern of missing the alarm , I arose at 4.15 to start the day. A quick cuppa and breakfast, and we were off to the airport to fly to Launceston.
As we flew over the country in Tasmania, I was struck by how green it looked from the air , after months of seeing nothing but brown in our home town.
Once we we were driving towards our destination of St Helens, on the East Coast, I began to appreciate just how green and lush everything looked. The green countryside is as calming and refreshing as the ocean I think.
After lunch at a very busy bakery In Scottsdale, we stopped at a great antique, jewelry, book, curio and clothing store in the middle of nowhere.
After reaching St Helens, and booking into our unit, we set off to the Bay of Fires, so called because of the red lichen on the rocks. Although the sun was not shining on arrival, it did peek through the clouds enough to enable a couple of nice pics.
We walked through a playground on our way to one beach, these rules were applicable...the mind boggles, whatever happened to parents having a little common sense?
Fish and chips for dinner, along with a hamburger.
