Eucalypts on the edge of Henty Dunes.

This is just off the road, not far from Strahan.  We are travelling north on the west coast of Tasmania from Strahan to Corinna.  There was a vehicle track that kept on going but the sand looked too loose for our car.  We talked to someone passing in a real 4WD and decided it was too far to walk in so we kept going.

Trial Harbour.

Next we stopped for coffee at Zeehan, also known as Mystery Bay in the ABC documentary series Bay of Fires, which is well worth watching.  From there, we headed for the coast at Trial Harbour.

Back to Zeehan and with a minor detour from the road to Corinna, we are now at Granville Harbour.

Lovers’ Falls.

We now get to leave the boat for a while and walk up a wooden boardwalk to the falls.
