Tasmania – First Full Day 

Changeable weather reigns in Tassie! The sky has darkened, clouds have delivered their rainy cargo, including ice pellets at one point, and we have dodged the showers admirably (or maybe just luckily). 

We began with rainbows ending atop the fishermen on the dock at our campsite by Fortescue Bay. Look closely at the photo and you’ll almost see the gold!

By morning, cold and almost frosty, the sun had warmth in it for our spectacular beach walk along the bay. We were so glad we had emerged from the gas-burner-heat of our campervan to go for a walk, take in the beauty of naturally vegetated sand dunes (some of the only ones in Tassie), incoming tide on almost-white beach, oyster catchers with baby, and Bennett’s wallabies on the beach. Except for the early morning cold, it has been a wonderful first day in Tassie!
