The slow road to Launceston
Packed up, checked out and on the road early we set off to the Eddystone lighthouse. This was a slow journey along lots of gravel roads. The destination was worth it and we enjoyed a walk up to the lighthouse and then down to the orange lichen covered rocks. Some returning fishermen were showing off their crayfish catch in the car park.
We then tried to find a way to Ansons Bay for a play on the beach. This was inaccessible so we continued on in search of St Columbus Falls. This was rather busy, but an interesting sight nonetheless.
Our next stop was an interesting dairy and cheesery where we enjoyed ice creams, entertained by the cows using the automatic milking parlour in the field next door.
Eventually the winding A3 took us to Launceston and we found comfortable accomodation at the Colonial Hotel. We went to a Mexican restaurant, The Prickly Cactus, for supper.
