Wake up to a sunny day in Richmond but can still see the snow on Mt Wellington.
As today is going to be a travel day we start by pottering around Richmond looking at all the historical buildings. Girls are a bit reluctant and Siobhan is mortified we might go near the school especially as it is a school day in Tasmania. Still we visit the Catholic church, the old gaol, walk down by the bridge and view the golly shop. We even manage to time our visit to the bakery for branch to avoid most of another torrential down pour. Despited stated reluctance the girls seem to quite enjoy the whole outing.
Having toured around and bought more sugar at the lolly shop we headed off to our last stop over at Bicheno on the east coast. The trip across and up alternated between boring and scenic. On arrival, again in the rain, we found ourselves in a nice cabin with excellent facilities. Kiara found her self drawn to the lake and managed to convince Cath to supervise her as she tried out kayaking with some success! Cath and I then managed to escape for awhile with a walk along the foreshore rocks to view the blow hole and the famous red rocks of the east coast.
A bit of shopping at the local gave us sustenance as we planned our next day. I hoped for a decent walk at Freycinet and Cath eyed of the local penguin tour.
