Day 6

Nowhere to go Sunday – Coles Bay

At last we are in a location for more than one night! We took advantage by having a lazier start to the day with the only task to speak to the accomodation owner about the ‘unfridge’. Emma made an early trip to the convenience store to buy a bag of ice to cool the ‘unfridge’.

After a late breakfast we set out to explore Freycinet National Park. Our first stop was Cape Tourville and its lighthouse. There were lovely views back to Wineglass Bay, purportedly one of the top 10 beaches in the world!

Our next stop was Friendly Beach and Christina was pleased to try her new car on a gravel track. By now it was lunchtime, so we enjoyed sandwiches on a bench overlooking the bay, entertained by a kite-surfer.

After lunch we had a little scramble amongst the rocks and rock pools on the beach.

The next stop was at Aspley’s Water Hole where Emma and Christina had a swim. Christina not deterred by not having a swimming costume – she was able to borrow Emma’s rashie top and board shorts.

By now we were getting hungry and so found a fish and chip shop in Bicheno and enjoyed our whiting, scallops and calamari outside in the sun. we then had a little explore around Bicheno. We watched an Air Ambulance land in the school field. Apparently there had been a car crash a little way down the road.

After a short stop at Bicheno we came home. On TV we enjoyed Sydney Sixers beating their Thunder rivals in the BBL cricket.
