St Helens
We had a busy start to the day as we had to make sure that the AirBnB was left in a tidy state and all our bits loaded aboard the car. We all worked hard and managed to leave Coles Bay at 9am.
After retracing Coles Bay Road for the final time we headed north, back to the Douglas Apsley National Park and the warm waterhole we had enjoyed earlier in the week. I was not impressed, the water was only a little warmer than the cold Tasman Sea so I didn’t last long. Emma fared better and enjoyed a long swim and snorkel.
Nearing lunchtime when we left we motored on past Bicheno looking for a suitable spot and we were well served at Four Mile Creek. After eating our sandwiches and a little explore around the creek and bridge we got back on the road.
We arrived at St Helens and checked in to the grand looking hotel. Our room was great with a verandah overlooking the bay, giving us a great vantage point to watch the many black swans swimming serenely. We dined in at the hotel’s rather disappointing bistro passing time booking a boat adventure for the morning.
After dinner the girls went back to the room and Christina and I had a stroll around the bay.
