We took a holiday with Colin and Helen out to Freycinet Peninsula in late July.  We rented a small cottage in Swanwick and made forays from there.  We thought we had explored the area fairly well, but there is so much more to see, a common theme in our travels around Tasmania. 

This area is known as Whitewater Wall.  It's a local climbing Mecca that rises one hundred and fifty feet above the ocean.  This bit of rock seemed to cling to the side of the cliff quite precariously.	A crack in the granite was filled with pink rock and ran all the way up the climbing face.  It made for a really impressive visual across the surface of the cliff.  We climbed down to the water's edge and enjoyed this view of the routes that line the face of the wall.
At Bluestone Bay we caught this view.  It is a 4WD track down to the beach.	Erosion in the face of this granite boulder at Sleepy Bay was just too hard to pass up.
Sunset from our beach at Alluvian Beach Cottage....	We visited Friendly Beaches at the north end of Freycinet National Park.  This beach is about twelve kilometers long.
An area of Friendly Beaches has tessellated pavement on it.  Ancient mudbeds formed this rock and then fractured in very regular lines.  We really enjoyed the tide pools in among the rock patterns.	The erosion pattern on this pavement area produced protruding joints.
On Monday we took Colin's boat out of Bicheno and caught a whole mess of flathead!  Dinner for that night and several others!	Four black-browed albatross dogged us the whole time we fished.  They seemed more interested in arguing than in letting each other eat.
Here's Whitewater Wall from the Tasman Sea.  What a great place to climb!	Another climbing destination, The Main Wall, just outside of Wineglass Bay
