3-2-23:

The day dawn beaut with no wind and blue skies so i headed off stopping for a look as the displays in Tullah.

[Big Red]

I then drove out to Rosebery Lakes dam wall and hydro set up for a look.







By the time i got to Lake Pieman and its hydro set up the sky had clouded and the rain set in so i stopped in the lookout shelter for lunch.

I drove out to Granville Harbour and set up camp on a low Bluff overlooking the wild seas, the waves were as high as where i was before they thundered into collapse over the rocky shores about 100 metre out some as tall as the towns houses and splashing 15 to 20 metres up into the blues skies.
Camped on a low bluff about 5 metres above the Southern Ocean … several times i had 5 Metre waves breaking about 100 metres offshore and smashing on to the rocks protecting me . The weather was beaut until after dark then the gale force winds and rain hit but i was nice and snug in bed although the car was shuddering with the force of the breaking waves offshore

The weather turned to crap overnight so i headed in to Zeehan to shop then had a look at the Spray Tunnel, an old silver mine precinct.

[Big Red]

It was still raining on and off as i had a look at some of the old buildings from the car window then stopped and uploaded some pics and video before watching a movie to while away a few hours.

I drove out to Trial Harbour late in the day to camp the night spotting a waterfall, cave and deep sea foam nearby.

Weather was still raining so i headed back to Zeehan for a bit before driving to Strahan stopping at the Henty Dunes for a look.

I had a stroll along ocean beach before heading into Strahan.

I drove through the overcrowded main street and out to Hogarth Falls at Peoples Place Park.
