Sat Dec 2nd-Freycinet to Launceston

Another fairly leisurely day. Spent hours walking along Friendly Beaches (saw 2 people) incredibly fine sand on this beach. Lots of oyster catchers and some small sea bird (hooded plover?) very cute little thing.

It was a very easy drive back via Campbell Town to Launceston (around 170kms). It gave us time to wander up Cataract Gorge-a surreal juxtaposition of nature with a typical Victorian can do attitude. Complete with formal gardens, peacocks, a more recent swimming pool, a gondola for getting people across the george-it's mad! But well worth a look.

We were staying in the Kilmarnock House on Elphin St (a little bit out of town and on one of the major roads but not as noisy at night than you'd think and AUD150 a night). Dinner was early in Pierre's on George St. Good food, maybe small portions but very good.

To bed early as we were fishing tomorrow
