Tasmanian Holiday continues

Here we go lets be safe and lock the wheels into 4WD down this slippery track. Just as well we did it allowed us to safetly, and narrowly miss, collecting a young person in a blue car coming around the blind corner a little too wide!

So we're off down to St Columba Falls, a 90m drop but much wider than the Ralphs falls. A beautiful 20 minute walk through the tall myrtle, eucalypt and blackwood trees and giant ferns.

Click click click and we're off up the track again...OH my ear ring shrieks the daughter, I've lost one of my ear rings! Damn blast and everything else... go back down the track to see if you two can find it I'll keep going up the track and watch out for it on the way and I'll search the car too. Phew! she found it on the track .. How lucky was that?

Lets go back so we can visit the Pyengana cheese factory and Holy Cow cafe to get real ice cream! It's a family tradition to weigh yourself on the large freight scales out the front too. We give the Pub in the Paddock a miss this time the pig must have had enough beer by now.
Puchasing a block of mature cheddar we head off to St Helens. Don't forget to go into the Shop in the Bush the best bricabrac shop to Tasmania, full of collectables, glass, china and books and a lot more.
Winding our way towards St Helens on the coast there are some spots where the view is spectacular.

Lets go out and have a look at Binnalong Bay and the Bay of fires - famous for the orange lichen on the rocks and beautiful beaches oh if we must is the reply. The water is wonderfully clear it's just before sunset and the boats are bobbing about in the the sheltered bay. Would we like to stay here? No there was no visible shop or place to eat apart for the expensive restaurant which isn't open today anyway!

So off we go back into St Helens and it's been decided that we'll get to Scamander to find a self catering unit. Carmens Inn had just the place for an overnight stay - clean, comfortable, friendly host, very quiet and we can prepare a meal.

Where are we off to tomorrow? We'll lets see Fourmile Creek, Falmouth, Bicheno, Coles Bay or Swansea .....
I'll let you know next time...
