BSLDU freycinet national park Sunday

May have finally got to the bottom of coffee naming australia. Long black can be one or two shots, depends upon the establishment. No usual name for what we call a double espresso. Have been given several logical suggested names ending with best to describe. This is very much a coffee culture. It I'd ready to see why Starbucks failed after many years. They exist but at the fring. Too much stronger competition.

Newspapers. Still many large format as well as other format print papers. Most are owned by Murdoch but there are a few independents.

Travel day to this Special park.

Ride up the coast across rolling hills. Few small towns and little traffic of course. Many nice bay views with great oyster bay being the largest with multiple beaches. Some tea places. Swansee has a great general store from 1838.

Most of the towns are reminiscent of mid century USA, especially the architecture. Small sleepy charming with little to do except fish and hike and of course sheep farm.

About a 3 hour drive (we had to get a car to get there; advised not to get a gps as so few roads). Unlike NZ one has to pay to get into parks. The hotel is inside the boundaries.

Coles bay is near bichino where we hope to see penguins.

Penguins are out to sea. There is a private rookery with only a half dozen hangers on. Typical high priced tour. No pictures permitted. Not much of anything in the town. Very nice walk along oyster bay.

At the park visitor center got advice on walks wildlife and how this is the best park in Tasmania. Another park is also good but…

Hotel has no tv., phone, Or Wi-Fi. If this goes it means the sim card as hotspot happened to function.

Hotel, freycienet lodge is set right on Coles bay. Pictures eventually.
