Wind was howling this morning. The beach at Beaumaris was looking very beautiful but completely blown out (it also looked very cold).So we took the road to St Mary's and stopped on Elephant Pass to see the garden at Blueberry cottage-lovely people.
We then spent rather longer than we intended to at NatureWorld just north of Bicheno. It runs off voluntary donations and could probably do with more (and like everywhere else it could do with more water). Its full of creatures you never thought you'd ever see. Tassie Devils, echidnas, cape barren geese, padamelons-all the critters you'd love to see in the wild but don't stand much chance of (apart from as road kill of which there is a truly upsetting amount on the majority of the roads on Tassie).
Really good tourist info here. Staying at Bicheno by the beach (AUD160 for a cabin) and booked into the new Seasons restaurant (open less than a month as booked out solid).
A walk up Whalers lookout and along the beach to Blowhole which, given the weater lately and the wind that had been blowing hard all day, was performing brilliantly.
