Instead of the “normal” Australian
experience of sight-seeing in Sydney and scuba-diving in the Great Barrier Reef,
Martin and I opted for the more unique experience, a trip to Tassie and more
specifically, a day of bushwalking in Freycinet National Part. The walk, 11km in all, would take us to
Wineglass Bay Look Out, down to Wineglass Beach, and if we desired, through the
bush to Hazards Beach, around the point and back to the car park.
A little nervous about walking in the bush
after our Manly walk, I asked the park ranger about how “wild” the path was
(e.g. would I spend the entire time on the lookout for spiders). To which she responded “Spiders? Huh, no, spiders are the least of your
concern. I figured you’d be worried
about something else.”
What that something else was I am not completely sure,
she didn’t elaborate much past snakes and an unidentified rustling in the
bushes.
In the end the hike was exhausting, but
definitely worth it. And the only
unwanted wildlife met along the way were the pesky flies that followed me the
last 4 km of the walk (so, yes, maybe I hadn’t showered that morning and I may
or may not have looked like Pig Pen from Peanuts, but it was very annoying and
deep down I was wishing for a spider web or two to take care of them in)
But enough yammering: check out these
photos!
