This weekend has seen us exploring the North East/West Coast of Tasmania, an area that we’ve often looked at on the map but not visited.
On our first morning we awoke to a flat tyre, which despite our predictions has stayed inflated after a quick pump up. This was followed by getting bogged and narrowly avoiding a head on with a quad bike on the Sandy Cape track. To top it off then the trailer brake caught fire as we entered Smithton, thankfully easily put out with our fire extinguisher and some friendly locals and their hose.
With fabulous scenery like this, though, its hard to complain 🙂
Camp sites in this part of the world are plentiful. We stayed at Black River and Elsewhere Camp, near Temma. Both are top spots particularly given the cost -$13 and free respectively.
A stop at Dismal Swamp is also highly recommended, particularly if you like massive slides (and having fun!)
We will definitely be back!
