Another long drive today to Strahan on Tasmania’s West Coast. Before this, I went to see the Majestic Russell Falls and as Sally had had enough walking yesterday, I headed off alone.

The Falls are excellent. I tried to capture their essence on camera.

On the trail back, I passed this fallen giant so stopped for a Kodak moment.

The road on the way passed Tarraleah and Tungatinah power stations both been fed from opposite sides of a valley into the one river.

We stopped at Lake St. Clair for lunch, but as there where no day facilities there to park the trailer and boil up a billy of tea, we turned around and found a little river bank on the boundary of the NP and made a sandwich and cuppa in a far more suitable scenario.
We drove through Queenstown (a most breathtaking drive down the side of Mt Roland, much to Sally’s dismay and to find out later, Jan’s as well) and onto Strahan.

Strahan was an interesting destination. Luckily for us, Mike had called ahead and booked the two last powered van sites in all of Strahan. This was evident by the number of RV’s parked in any and every available car park in Strahan. As we were setting up in our site located outside the gates (in the front yard of and employee) we saw several RV’s and vans turned away, onto the streets due to insufficient holiday parking in Strahan.
