Day 3 – The Tarkine Drive

Today was a day of touring the North-west of Tasmania.

Drive was a bit windy – not good for fragile stomachs. Walks were a little over-estimated eg 15 minute walk only took about eight!

First stop was Trowutta Arch. We did get to see the Beautiful Tree.

The sink hole was fascinating – would not want to end up in there.

Step away from the edge
Unbelievable – Grubbie has mellowed. He stopped on a bridge and let me get out and take a photo!
Tayatae Bridge – Arthur River

We drove to Milkshake Hills (walk that took all of 8 minutes) and then to Sumac Lookout.

Milkshake Hills. Goal – spot a pink robin
Walk was pretty…short!

Binoculars got a work out
Contemplating life!
Thumbs up!

We then drove to the Edge of the World where it was incredibly windy.

Hair again taking a blast!

Once we returned to the lodgings, we all did our own thing before meeting at the Sports Bar. Everyone had a game of pool with the one by the girls probably taking the longest time in history.

Style!
We finally finished the game.

Awards were given for player of the day. The prize – wearing the prestigious bucket hat which had been earned through great sacrifice – buying two Canadian Clubs on tap.

Michael received one for his unfortunate incident with a wallaby and Wayne for his story telling the previous night. Karen received an award for battling through a horrible bug and still smiling each day despite feeling really lousy. Robyn’s New Year Resolution was the Day 2 Play of the day.

On our way home, we stocked up ready for our farm stay and some of us enjoyed a night cap in Robbie and Al’s room.

Note the daylight. This was just before 8pm.
