ayyoo this story is so basi already. But will finish it anyway. WARNING: LONG ENTRY! hheheeh
So, 3rd day what happened? what?? hahaa lupa daaaa *icon open up picture file to help me out..see?? that's the whole idea of taking piccas like there's no tomorrow! :P
Alright, this morning the plan was to drive across to the west side of Tasmania and climb up the famous amos cradle mountain. Cradle mountain is indeed a must-go place for everybody who visit Tasmania (tu diahh pepandai cakap must go ek hehehe but that's what i thot). Neway, it was a long drive as we were at the north east side of the island (Bicheno) the night before. It took about ermm 4 hours to cross from east to west of the island, along the way we stopped by at some beaches and one of them is the ever unique and picturesque Bay of Fires (piccas will come in another entry after this one). Reached cradle mountain perhaps sometime after lunch time...everybody was so excited and jakun of the uniqueness of the mountain look from afar. It was such a beauty!! Truly a not-to-be missed sight to view! The uniqueness of this tourist spot is it has a lake in between the mountains. I think it's somewhat similar to the ones in NZ, i think so.
Anyway, we were rushing to catch the next shuttle up to the mountain area. It was sunny but cold due to its mountain area. The walk around the Dove Lake supposed to take about 2.5 hours if we do it non stop...but hey of course there'll be thousand times of stops aye? for piccas, for viewing and what not hehehe. So altogether it took us around ermm ahh cant remember hahaha. Neway, as usual tracks, waterfalls, wombats, wallabies were what we came across along the walk.
Finished with that, we continue on a bit with the Enchanted walk, it was a kind of cooling down kind of walk with only 20 minutes prescribed to do so. By then it was already noon around ermm 6pm? Took photos and went off, sooo sejuk! We drove to our next motel which is in Strahan if i' not mistaken. Stopped at this seafood restaurant for our dinner, an expensive restaurant i would say. The reason is because, it was easter holiday and not many restaurants were opened and that place was a tourist area hence, oh well tourist would prefer to eat out than cook yes?. It is also expensive probably due to its situated just by the seaside...which we only got to know after we read the brochure! it was already dark when we got there, cant see anything plus we were so hungry hehehe. The house was full with customers, we had to wait like half an hour to place our order and wait another half an hour for our meals. The meal for amran and I alone cost about $60 dollars. However i thot the wait was sweet though as so many stories were shared among us and the laugh we had, shoved away our hunger and tiredness.
Next day, we went to cruise along the Gordon River, at Strahan town. The cruise that's complete with free coffeebar in it and inclusive of buffet lunch, took about 6 hours with ermm 2 stops at the World Heritage Landing and Sarah Island. World Heritage Landing is basically a place, simple one at that but quite charming with its greens that i'm sure the whites like most. Sarah Island is an island that started off as a place to build wooden boat using cheap labor, the convicts who else. Thus they have prisons and sorts in Sarah Island as well. At present, the place no longer operates as it was and hence there were remnants of buildings. A tall man who was the narrator, told us history of the island and he's better than the one we had in Port Arthur coz he's more lively with good sense of humor. And the cruise and its sight?? it was splendid!!
Done with that, we went off to our next place for the night...that's somewhere in ermmm.....Sheffield. Final day, we dropped by at Tazmazia and lavendar farm, then off to Launceston where we'd depart home. Stopped at the Cataract Gorge, a park and ride on the basin chairlift and then off to the airport, return our rental car..had our last meal at Launceston airport and yeapppp that was it!!
