We had decided to explore the eastern side of the tip driving around the Somerset Bay loop road. The first place of interest that we visited was Lake Wicheura. A nice sandy road ending at the lake’s edge. We had a walk along the sandy beach before returning to continue the journey.

We headed to the coast finally emerging onto Nanthau Beach where we turned left and headed up the beach towards Somerset Homestead but driving over the bluffs between beaches proved most challenging.

A little ingenuity and we’re soon back on the road

Once across the sand it was Tropical Rain Forrest
A little further on we headed down to Somerset Beach for lunch, just below Somerset Homestead Ruins. A excellent spot with views across the beautiful, sheltered Albany Passage. A perfect place to rest after our 4X4 adventure.

We then headed back to Punsand Bay for a spot of fishing before adjourning to the resort restaurant for dinner and drinks.
