St Helens

 17th. February 2023 

 Drove to St Helens from Campbell Town, a mix of open plains and forests , but a nice drive. The thing is about Tasmania there’s almost a town over very hill unlike where we live  where it at 2 hours to anywhere and at 4 hours to everywhere else. Today was the most scary wind I’ve been in in the van. The whole van is rocking and I hope it soon stops. Not only was it windy but very hot for Tasmania buy not hot for us of course.  30- 31 C is lovely weather for summer.

 

Binalong Bay is the most beautiful place , you can look over at the Bay of Fires , so named because of the orange algae on the rocks that make it look like a fire. At the boat ramp at Binalong bay it looks like a sea garden the water is as clear as crystal and all sorts of seaweeds are growing there for us to sea.

The seaweed gardens 

I love these flowers they uses them in a lot of arrangements but I never knew they had. What is like a little cone inside. I will try to find out their name, unless somebody knows kept me know. They had a huge garden of them at the caravan park

These were the most amazing oysters I’ve ever had. Fresh from the bay .

We made kilpatrick - my favourite type

Our spot at the big 4 at St Helens a very nice park but a bit expensive
