We were in the Narawntapu National Park for the Australia Day weekend. From our camp site we could look across the water to Port Sorell. We arrived on the Saturday and the parks people suggested we drive straight down and pick a site then come back to book in. Like most parks campgrounds they are first come best dressed. We stayed three nights.
The beaches here are awesome At low tide it would be 200m from the dunes to the water and all flat hard sand. The tides will actually chase you up the beach.
Rose and I did a couple of hikes, the first along a really nice shaded track behind the dunes and over a couple of headlands then back along the beach We have our Overland bags packed so we're carrying the full weight (less food) now on these walks. Rose is carrying clothing and sundries (about 8kg) and I've got bedding, tent, cooking, medical, etc (about 20kg's). We're really quite tired after 10km's+. The second hike was up to Point Vision. No beach at all, mainly forrest and fire trails.
We had 60kn winds Sunday afternoon and evening and some heavy rain. We faired pretty well. Some of the campers, not so.
Tiger snakes predominate in the area. This metre long example was going about it's own business by the side of a walking track. One group of walkers reported sighting 12 snakes during their walk. Luckily we didn't..
Rose on the trail to Point Vision. We walked from the the farthest end of the beach you can see in the upper left of the photo.... and back. Luckily it was downhill on the return.
We left on Monday headed for Bridport for no particular reason really.
