Onwards we headed to our final destination which we hoped would be a warmer place. As we exited the ranges we could see farmland all the way to the ocean. Back in civilization again. Stopped in Wynyard for supplies, and cruised along the coastline. Passing little fishing villages, we found Pegs Beach. Just like the east side, the clear blue water is mesmerizing.
Since we can’t sit still, we decided to explore the smallest national park in Tassie. Tangdimmaa (Rocky Cape) National Park is a very spiritual & scared place, with Aboriginal Caves, easy walks with beautiful views.

13/01/12 What is that bright light shinning in our faces? It’s the sun! Had a cuppa in the sun & an hour later it was raining. How quickly it changes. Drove into Stanley. The town is built at the base of “The Nut” which was named by the Aborigines. Lots of art & craft shops, very much a tourist town. Very clean & tidy, as is pretty all of Tassie really. Mike and I headed vertically up the rock, while Kirsty & Jade took the easy way up by chairlift. There is a 2klm walk around the top. It was an awesome view! They use to graze cattle here. Also chopped the trees, rolled them down & used them for firewood. Lookout below!
