Our first day touring Tassie...tops

Hi- we caught up on some sleep last night and set off this morning for the east coast. On the way we toured through pretty little towns, did a short rainforest walk near Weldborough (where we ate our packed lunch) and stopped off at a Pyengana cheese factory and bought some of their cheddar, before relaxing on their outdoor patio and enjoying a devonshire tea in the nice surroundings. We then saw nearby St Columba Falls, which are one of the highest in Tassie and were impressive.
We moved on and saw Halls waterfall- another pretty spot. We also had a close encounter with a cute long beaked echidna on our walk in.
From there we reached the coast and St Helens and started to travel south. We travelled through areas damaged by the bushfires around christmas- its amazing some houses are still standing.
We continued down all the way to Coles Bay- its cloudy, with sunny breaks and VERY windy. Adam may even get a sail in tomorrow arvo. Tomorrow we plan do bushwalk out to famous Wineglass Bay- we very much hope the sun comes out at least some of the day so we can see the area and its blue water at its best. Then we'll continue our journey.
Thats it from us today. Ready for more rest soon.
Love Emma & Adam xx
