We have seen a lot in the past few days and today was no different. After breakfast, we arrived in Beaconsfield, an old historic mining town. Beaconsfield was made famous by the story of the two miners who were trapped a kilometre underground for about 2 weeks. It was very educational visiting the mining centre, especially for Sasha and Alyssa. Besides the mining story, there were other artifacts which made this visit worthy. After Beaconsfield, we headed north towards Green Beach, which proved to be very popular with the locals. It was very windy and cold, but that didn't stop the locals going for a swim. We went to the tip in the national park, which greeted us with fantastic views which were similar to Fraser Island.
Heading back south and before we crossed Batmans Bridge, we had to stop for some wine tasting. Daniel was a little disappointed as there was only one red to sample, but that didn't stop me from sampling the rest. After crossing Batmans Bridge, we stopped for lunch and continued on to George Town. There wasn't much to see in George Town, except this is apparently the town where the Targa

Our final visit for the day was Bridport, which was another beautiful town. The caravan parks here were packed with tourists, so we headed out of town and camped at Waterhouse Point, which was a free campsite by the beach.
