Freycinet National Park

We drove further north to check out Freycinet National Park. We did a couple of day hikes, starting with a hike to Wineglass Bay. It starts with a hike up to a lookout point. As you head up you have great views of Coates Bay (from the opposite side as yesterday’s view from Swansea).

The trail continues down the other side of the hill to Wineglass Bay. It’s one of the best maintained trails I’ve been on.

The beach at Wineglass Bay is only accessible by the trail or boat.

Just past these rocks is New Zealand, about 1000km further off.

I checked over the last year and 145 floors climbed is easily the most I’ve done in a day.

And hey, I guess this is how we spend Valentines Day.
