El amigo possum ayer perdio la paciencia muy pronto. Me parecio oir como rdaba la tienda, a ver si habia dejado algo interesante fuera, y luego no lo volvi a oir. Por la mañana hacia un frio del carajo, a las 8:30 apenas 6 grados, y es que el sol habia salido hacia una hora. He recogido todo, he conseguido una botella de agua de los campistas vecinos, y me he puesto en marcha para eso de la 10. Han sido a partir de ahi unos 30 km de camino de tierra, con pequeñas colinas, luego unos 10 de asfalto y he llegado a St Hellens. Aqui he rellenado botellas de agua, he conseguido informacion y he hecho la compra. En St Hellens se supone que hay internet gratis en el parking del embarcadero, pero no he conseguido que funcionase. Asi que he aprovechado para comer mientras cargaba los trastos electronicos. He salido poco antes de las 3 ya para el sur. Hasta Scamander se iba por el bosque, bastante llano. Despues de Scamander se empieza a subir una colina y luego se baja a la costa de nuevo. Aqui, cerca de Four Mile Creek, unas vistas preciosas de costa y playas de arena blanca. Una vez pasado ese punto, todos los terrenos de costa son privados, lo cual supone que la carretera discurre a unos cuantos cientos de metros de distancia de la costa, por tanto, muchas cuestas. En este tramo se me ha cruzado un canguro, no me extraña que haya tanto canguro muerto en la carretera, cruzan igual que los gamos, a toda pastilla y sin mirar. De aqui para abajo, unas vistas preciosas de una larga playa de arena blanca y al fondo los cabos del Freycinet National Park. Abajo de la cuesta hay un Free Campsite, jsuto al lado de la playa. En este me quedo, no hay duchas ni agua, pero hay baños.

My friend the possum soon lost patience. I felt him close to the tent to see if anything interesting was left outside, and then I never hear him again. In the morning it was quite cold, at 8:30 only 6 degrees, and the sun was alredy out for an hour. I collected everything, I 've got a bottle of water from neighboring campers, and have started at about 10. There was from there about 30 km of dirt road, with small hills, then about 10 asphalt and so I have come to St Hellens . Here I have filled water bottles , I got information and I made the purchase. In St Hellens is supposed to be free internet in the parking of the pier, but it didnt work . So I took the opportunity to lunch while loading the electronic junk. I left shortly before 3 to the south. Till Scamander it was going in the woods, pretty flat. After Scamander a long uphill and then down to the coast again . Here, near Four Mile Creek, there is a beautiful view of coastline and white sandy beaches . Once past that point, all areas of coastline are private, which means that the road runs a few hundred meters away from the coast , therefore, many hills. In this section I have seen a kangaroo crossing, no wonder there's so much dead kangaroo on the highway, the do like the deer crossing, at full speed without looking. From here on down, a long beautiful white sand beach and behind you see the Freycinet National Park. Down the hill there is a Free Campsite, just beside the beach. Here I stay, no showers nor water but with toilets .
