A Sampler Tour of Tasmania. Day 14

I woke up to a dull and dreary and drizzly day and promptly rolled over and went back to sleep for awhile. After an hour or so the drizzle stopped and I got up and packed up the tent and hit the road, Brekky came a little later in a nice warm bakery in Dunalley. 

Then I took the back roads through the Wielangta Forestry where there was a well organized Mountain Bike race happening, luckily I managed to miss them all. Then it was back to the highway at Orford and north to Triabunna before stopping at Swansea for lunch. The weather was still overcast with the occasional shower of rain and the chill wind was starting to pick up, so it was the perfect day to be driving in a nice warm car. At Swansea I found a nice little Fish and Chippery and decided to try their seafood plate consisting of half a small cray fish, a couple of prawns, a rather plump oyster and a few lettuce leaves for garnish. It was apparently, the first day of the commercial cray fish season and the cray was particularly tasty and juicy. 

I then had a drive around Swansea before heading north to Bicheno. I booked into the caravan park for two nights to explore the area. 

According to the weather forecast the cloud and rain will ease tomorrow and be fine on Sunday. So I'll explore the inland forests tomorrow and come back to Bicheno for their food and wine festival in the afternoon and then on Sunday I'll go and have a look at the Freycinet National Park and hopefully the weather will be sunny. I walked around Bicheno for an hour or so before having Pizza for dinner and then rugging up and getting ready to go off and see the Penguins this evening.
