One Perfect Day

The view from our campsite at Cosy Corner campground - south - in teh Bay of Fires area on the north-east coast. We were just metres from the water and the lovely sand and boulders. A few rock pools and little bays in between the rocks. Very nice!
Jon enjoys the outdoor kitchen, cooking up a storm for a late breakfast.
Further up the beach we found our own little swimming spot. Gorgeous! The water wasn't bad either....he he!
Part of our little bay. The water was chest deep in places and you could actually swim out to the rocks that bordered the bay.
Bay of Fires....I wonder how it got its name??


For me, Kirsty, Friday the 27th was just that....perfect! Had a sleep in and then lay in bed looking out the window at our view. The stunning Cosy Corner campground beach beckoned....startlingly clear water, rock formations that astound and white beaches as far as the eye can see. Eventually we got up and my darling husband enjoyed his outdoor kitchen, cooking me hashbrowns and pancakes for a late breakfast. We packed up and made our way up to the next bay for a swim. The water was crystal, had gentle waves and was freezing cold! But so invigorating and refreshing. Even Jon braved the fresh conditions. How lovely to be the only ones enjoying the water in our own private bay. The Bay of Fires area we were in is famous for its white sand beaches and rock formations that glow orange in the sunlight. That we got to enjoy all the best bits of this area in warm sunshine was such a delight. Again, our photos just don't do it justice, but perhaps you can tell by our smiles how much we enjoyed the morning. The afternoon took us off road....always a bit of fun adn we made our way further north and then west again. Camped under the Batman Bridge, right on the Tamar River. Found more oysters! Ahhhh...GREAT day!

Oh man, I'm going to have to visit - it looks surreal. We certainly live in a beautiful country don't we?!
Enjoy the crossing back - look out for blue whales!!

Yo-ho-ho Van Itallie's, I hope you're still adventuring on. Our driveway is having its own adventure at the moment - dug up last week and now the little bobcat is throwing cracker dust around and levelling it out. It'll be better than new. No kitchen though. I'll be offline for about a week from Monday so look forward to catching up on your news when I get back on board.
