Sisters Beach is a small community that is in the heart of a National Park, the Rocky Cape NP, and it provides not only beauty and seclusion, but a heap of walks around the NP as well.
The picture below shows a view from one of the walks we tried out. Pretty eh?
This walk took us to Anniversary Point and as you can see, it is typically Tassie beautiful. The walk was reasonably hard and we didn't see another soul out there at all. Pristine beach and bush - love it!
Once we left there we headed off to the pub (of course) but we called into the Table Cape area near Wynyard where they say they have the richest soil in Australia and they grow tulips that are exported to Holland.
Inevitably they also have a lighthouse so we had to take a picture of that!
. . . . . and the views from the lighthouse
We also took a walk along the Inglis River into Wynyard that was around 12km long. A beautiful walk along the sunny river bank that ended up with us sitting on the verandah of the pub, sipping a drink and relaxing.
We have also taken a drive out to Leven Gorge and taken the walk around the lookouts.
Walking between the lookouts involved a lot of stairs. 697 of them in one stretch so the knees took a bit of a battering. Still, it was worth it.
Note to self - add info on the following pics . .
After our walk on Mt Roland we drove through Sheffield.
No, not the city where I went to school and did all my youthful hooning around, but the town in Tassie with a theme that has them painting murals all over any blank walls.
Railton, nearby, has a similar theme, but theirs is topiary. Have a look at these excellent examples and there are MANY more
Lastly, this is our camp and a tree turning different autumnal colours.
