#Day 19

Monday 19th March
Our time at Corinna was at an end, we hopped on the barge to
cross the Pieman river , an adventure in itself, before we headed out to
Zeehan. We had some nice morning tea, before heading out to the Museum. What an interesting building with lots to read
on the history of mining from many of the towns surrounding Zeehan, (Zeehan itself was a mining town for
silver-lead, and was once Tassie’s biggest towns, and made as much money as
Kalgoorlie) inside there was even a simulated mine we could go into, and
all old trains, boats, sheds, and tools set up to walk through and see. There
was a room dedicated to the history of Freemasons, and then an old fashioned (gaiety) theatre, fitted with a big
screen and all old-fashioned chairs, surrounded by smaller rooms, show casing
various fashions for early years. From there we did a quick detour to see the
spray tunnel, dumped our Corinna rubbish and made our way to Strahan. Making
our way there nice and early so we could enjoy the afternoon before having
lovely pizza’s on the foreshore.
