Well today was a very big day. 
We left our freebie camp by King William Lake at Derwent Bridge and headed on our way to Strahan via Queenstown and Zeehan. This was only a 2hr 20min drive, but with all the sidesteps we arrived at about 5.30pm. We went on on few short walks which in the end was about 2 hours walk time. They were the Franklin River Nature Trail, Franklin River Suspension Bridge, Donaghy’s Hill Wilderness Walk, Nelson Falls and Horsetail Falls. It was a diverse range of scenery, from mountain lookouts to rainforest to mining towns. It was a great day. We arrived at Strahan by about 5pm and were setup by 5.30pm. A very unusual occurrence for us. Now most people would just relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at the camp ground, but not us, there was still 3 hours of daylight left. We went for a 12km bike ride to Ocean Beach which was half road half dirt track. Then we went back to the camping ground and were trying to decide how we could get the washing done and have dinner before going to watch the sunset at the headland. DBs idea was awesome. Washing was put on then as we were mobile we took the car to Macquarie Heads so  would cook dinner there and watch the sunset. We were not aware that this would encompass dinner on the beach. Mind you we almost got stuck in the sand on the way. All part of the adventure. It was amazing.
All in all it was a fantastic day.
