Tasmania with Photos

After spending a couple hours wandering around town asking teen agers about internet and wireless connections we found that our B&B indeed had an internet hookup in the form of a cable behind the sofa! Sooo - here is the post from our stay in Eastern Tasmania - I'll post something about the north tomorrow . So far Coles Bay has been the only place we've been skunked finding connectiuons.

Our Cabin

We’re in the middle of our 4 day stay in a “self contained” cabin in Coles Bay near Freycinet National park on the east coast of Tasmania. The cabin itself is fine though we did have quite an adventure shopping for provisions in the small stores in the area and trying to open a tin of salmon with a non-functioning can opener.

But the setting is the most spectacular of our trip. The national park is a long peninsula of tall pink granite rock formations with lots of hiking trails along both coasts and over the top. We’ve seen several wallabies hanging around parking lots and last night three pademelons visited our yard. They looked like rabbits in the dark until they stood up and hopped away like miniature kangaroos.
