Wednesday 21st March
We left Strahan early, today the weather was dismal,
completely different from the sunny weather we had enjoyed yesterday for our
boat cruise (Strahan enjoys rain 300 days
of the year) We travelled straight down to Queenstown where it was still
raining, we did some last minute shopping, toilet breaks before heading out
again. We did the 99 pass, where we stopped at the top lookout to view the
pass, and see the amazing waterfall running down the mountain scape. We did a
quick detour (recommended by some people at the lookout) to Iron blow lookout,
a canter leaver lookout to the view the brightest blue dam below us. We then
took off on more windy slippery roads, through the Tassie rainforest. We
stopped once for lunch and then kept going before making it by 3 to our last
stop, Ellendale, at our home stay Hamlet Downs. What a beautiful escape, with 3
connecting homes, set in the valley surrounded by orchards and roses it was
truly lovely. We all enjoyed our afternoon, some rested, the girls raced around
the house after each-other, we updated blogs and just enjoyed having our feet
up.
