Tasman Peninsula

After leaving Coles Bay we stopped off at the Spring Vale winery for some tastings and a few bottles of Gewurztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. We drove around the Great Oyster Bay stopping at Swansea for lunch then a big drive to Dunalley for the night. There is nothing much at Dunalley except the hotel lets you stay overnight in their paddock for free. After spending more money on dinner at the hotel than we would have on a campground, we continued on to Port Arthur in the morning and booked into a campground in a lovely natural setting by the water. Over the next 3 days we explored the beautiful Tasman Peninsula with it's rugged coastline near Remarkable Cave, pristine beaches like White Beach and the eerie Port Arthur Historic Site. We also met some wildlife that we had never seen before including Pademelons, Potoroos and Bettongs. Around the campfire there was some stiff competition between Simon and Julie over fire-building techniques and the perfect fire for successful marshmellow toasting. We christened the cast iron camp oven with a delicious madras curry.
