Freycinet National Park

 February 22

We finally made it to Freycinet National Park and found a lovely camping spot at a place called Friendly Beaches.  

The site is behind the dunes next to the beach.  Today is our 36th Wedding Anniversary and the weather is perfect.  So we spent the afternoon in the National Park walking along the beach and a visit to the Tourville lighthouse before heading to the local tavern for a surprisingly good meal of fresh seafood.

By the time we got back to camp, the weather had changed and it was very windy overnight.

Today was a bushwalking day, the weather is still not great the wind dropped but by the time we started our walk to the Wineglass Bay lookout it was blowing a gale.  We are now sitting at the table in the caravan hoping the wind will die down soon.  

Our legs are pretty sore. We walked up and down about 1500 steps on the walk to Wineglass Bay lookout and down to Wineglass bay beach.

The day started out calm and misty. A good beach walking morning till the wind returned. We decided to explore the small towns inland visiting Royal George, Avoca, Fingal, and finished up at St Marys. Fortunately, we didn't have the Caravan as the Elephant Pass is steep, windy, and skinny. Even without the rain and fog.
