Our last day in Tasmania so what should we do?
Head off to Elephant Pass for pancakes of course!
Various other options and plans were discussed but mainly we just headed back to Devonport and saw what we saw on the way. A short stop to wander the beaches north of Bicheno and marvel at how whit the sand was and how remote it all seemed. Winding our way up to Elephant Pass for the well promoted pancakes which were worth it. Then slipped down a back lane, or maybe a goat track, to look at a local craftshop.
We tried to visit some old growth forests near Avennue River and Mathinna Falls but the roads looked better on the maps and we mainly found rutted tracks, plantations and clear fell sites. Pretty depressing really.
Eventually back on the main roads we zoomed – sort off- towards Devonport, stopping briefing at Ashgrove Dairy to stock up on some lovely Tasmanian cheeses. Unfortunately the chocolate shop was shut.
The its back into the queues and onto the Spirit of Tasmania for our return trip.
