Hobart and up

Our time in Hobart finished with a tour of the Cascade Brewery...the oldest in Australia. Very interesting and yummy! Jon liked the harder stuff, but give me their raspberry cordial any day! We learnt all about hops and malt and making, bottling and packing beer. Headed out of town late in the afternoon and made our way north to Mayfield Bay camping reserve which looks out across Great Oyster Bay to the Freycinet Peninsula. Just a beautiful place....ok...truth be told, there are no ugly places in Tasmania. But this one really is special. Had our first dry night in a while - bonus! Spent the day in and around Coles Bay and Freycinet NP. Found another 4WD track...no winch needed this time. The Hazards are the pink granite mountains on the peninsula and they were looking very fine today...sparkling alongside the crystal clear turquoise water of the bay. Just beautiful! 18 km north we had a flying visit to the Friendly Beaches....again, clear turquoise water but this time, white fine sand. Beautiful! We're camping the night on the coast again....I can hear the gulls and the waves as I type. You know...BEAUTIFUL!
