We stopped and had lunch first - it was very good.
This walk starts out in the middle of town and winds around the headland.
See told you the name is Loontitetermairrelehoiner.

Ah, and they have St. Vincent de Paul here... they call it "Vinnies" - Love it. The commercials on TV all say "Vinnies needs this..." I'ts so cool!
We never got take away from this place - we jut liked the name.
The walk starts and ends in this lovely Swansea Park. Good walk, good day!
10/15/2012 - Freycinet National Park has a lot of walks and drives.
This was the Cape Tourville drive with a nice walk at the end.
On the way back down we stopped at another walk to Sleepy Bay. It was stunning!
We went home and got ready for dinner at the Edge Restaurant. WOW!
Fabulous views and wonderful food! The best we had in Coles Bay! Much better than the Lodge at Freycinet!!!
10/16/2012 - We drove up past Bicheno to do another one of the walks listed in the 60 Great Short Walks put out by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife. This was #52... the Apsley River Waterhole & Gorge.
We made it to the Waterhole - no problem.
We did the circle and tried to find the Gorge Walk... no luck at all.
The issue was that we couldn't get to the due to the windstorm had blown down so many trees.
Ah well, on the unpaved way back to the Main Road (Tasman Highway), we saw this long stick like thing - about as long as the car is wide... I braked hard... and the snake slithered off into the brush before Lee could get a picture of it. Dang!
Big, black Tiger Snake... venomous - of course. The good thing about venomous snakes in Tassie is that there are 3 types and all of their bites require the same anti-venom. It's a weird 'good thing', but a good thing nonetheless.
