Once again we had a perfect day for the trip and the gravel road at the end of it was smooth and easy. Unsurprisingly there were a heap of camp sites down there with most of them being grassy and clean with bay views.
Bay views? Yes, this is yet another Tassie destination that simply takes your breath away with its water views.
We decided to take the 2 hour walk from the "Whale Sculpture" to the point and the pictures below whow you some of the highlights.
The Whale Sculpture itself. This is of a 3 month old Southern Right Whale and is life size.
Incidentally, ever wonder why a Right Whale is called that? It is because it was the right whale to hunt!
And so, on to the water views from the walk out to Fishers Point.
Out near the point are the ruins of what was originally the pilot's house which then became a pub called the Sawyers' Arms.
At the point itself is a light - not big enough to be a lighthouse, it serves the same purpose.
As we walked back we found that the tide had come back in which meant a little wading in those clean, clear waters. Once you lost sensation in your legs the cold didn't bother you at all!
Seriously though, the water was OK - about 17 degrees.
So, once we got back home we tried the pub again and found it open!
It is a lovely old pub with a great deal of class. It is run by a 74 year old German guy called Con with a small handlebar moustache who does everything from serving the beer to cooking the food and it is well worth a visit.
