Day 4

Time to pack up and get on the road to Strahan.
Bit of a driving day which tended to be rather boring except for a stop at Queenstown where a visit to a local museum in the old Royal Hotel yielded many treasures and much fascinating trash.
At Strahan our accommodation was spacious if a bit patchy and rather expensive. Ah well been good so far, and we can cook here.
Having arrived with time to spare and having pre-booked our Gordon River Cruise for the next day we started to look around the place to stoke up on groceries and organise some dinner. It was rhen we spotted a local institute (so we found out later) in the theatre of the Round Earth company, and booked to see their play “The Ship that Never Was”. This was a classic two handed play which seemed designed to drag as many members of the audience into the action while telling the story of the last escape from Sarah Island. Very funny,entertaining and educational and definitely worth the couple of dollars it cost, blankets included.
As it happened we would see more of the cast from the Round Earth company the next day.
