Camping with the locals

---

On the east coast of Tasmania, I started at Bay of Fires. This is where i camped, and the beach was amazing. I did notice, there were many blue-bottles (jellyfish) washed up on the beach. Not that I was considering getting in the water because it was FREEZING. I cant belive people swim in that water! It is so gorgeous, though. Supposed to be good surfing here, too, but so far I havnt seen any swell.

The next day I contined down the coast to Wineglass bay, which is the first picture in my blog. Probably the best thing about Tasmania, is that there is no one here. And My absolute favorite thing i did/saw here was camp right above the beach that is pictured second. The Most amazing beach and there was hardly anyone else there. It was awesome.

The day after I called ahead to get a campsite near Port Arthur, which was my last stop on the way back, and reserved my campsite. When I arrived it turned out to be not what I expected, but the backyard of a rather strange old couple. And, to make things even stranger, I was to share the backyard with their pet sheep and goose....BUT, i pretended that this was not weird at all and set up my tent, while the sheep starred at me as he chewed on a stick. The old man told me what there was to see in the exciting town of "Eaglehawk Neck", and as great as it all sounded, I told him I had to be leaving the next day..

This is the second time my trusty guide books has been misleading...I have since ripped it up. (a bit dramatic maybe but my sheep friend wasnt suggesting anything more fun to do. Plus I didnt have anything to burn it with)

Thanks to a very vocal goose, I ended up sleeping in my car for half the night again. Strangly enough, my little car is starting to feel quite homey, and anymore the passenger seat is much more inviting than my tent. This is my fourth night camping and will be my last for this trip...as fun as it was.

So, for my last day with wheels, i headed to my final stop. Port Arthur.
