Freycinet National Park 14/02/2012

Hi all, I know that this is out of order, but I thought that an early post was in order. Today I took the 11kl Wineglass Bay/Hazards Beach circuit (I want to find the wine bottle that goes with the wineglass). An absolutely exhausting walk but on the other hand some magnificent scenery. The view from Wineglass Bay lookout is all that the postcards show it to be, the walk up to the lookout included three hundred steps, boy it didn't do my the knees one bit of good.

When I got to the top I thought that only took about 30 minutes, so why not go on and do the rest of the walk. Well the down hill to the beach was worse than the uphill trek to the lookout. The steps going down weren't anything like the ones going up. The view from the bottom was as good as it was from the top. From bay it was a half hour trek across the Isthmus Track to Hazard Beach.

Once you hit the beach its a one kl walk along the beach to join the track that skirts around the base of Mt Mason, in the brochure they call it an undulating track. Undulating my bum, to me undulating is smooth, easy rolling hills, these were anything but smooth and easy rolling. There were however great views across to Coles Bay. A very tiring day but well worth the journey. We are staying at the national park for a few more days before we head off. Standby for week three coming soon. I'm slowly catching up.
