Australia 2020 - Day 14 - St Helen's
Wednesday
Today is a travelling day from the North of the island to the East coast. This area is very remote with very few settlements, no towns, fuel or shops. It is a good job we bought supplies and our lunch before we left Launceston.
We drove many miles on gravel roads which felt like we were rally driving! Our first stop was at Mount William National Park, where we walked the track to the top - only a little mountain but I was a bit slow today. Great views from the summit though.
Then another drive to the coast which is known as the Bay of Fires because of the huge rocks that are covered in vivid orange lichen. We were there at high tide which meant not all of the rocks were visible.
Going into St Helen's town for dinner tonight.
15,800 steps, 7 miles
