It's
Hayley's fourth birthday today. Happy Birthday Hayley. Sorry that we
are not there to help you blow out the candles on the cake.
Today
we made the transition from the north coast to the west coast. It was
our intention to spend another night in the north and visit
Woolnorth, a privately owned pastoral property and wind farm in the
north west corner but you can only visit as part of a tour and the
tour is fully booked until Saturday. We have to come back to
Devonport to get on the boat to go home so, if we run out of things
to do, we might be able to do the tour then.
So,
we are now at Arthur River in another delightful Conservation Area
campground with our little corner of it to ourselves. We will be here
for three nights in that we are doing the Tarkine Drive tomorrow and
have a day cruise of the Arthur River booked for Friday. The boat
operator we spoke to about the cruise said that the Arthur is the
most pristine river in Tasmania but relatively unknown.
We
came here via Stanley and Smithton and, at Stanley, we did the
obligatory ride up the chair lift to do the two kilometre circuit
walk at the top of The Nut. Stanley really is a lovely little town.
At
the mouth of the Arthur River, there is an area known as the Edge of
The World. History doesn't relate why it is called that but it is
certainly uninviting as scenic spots go.
