Rocky Cape to Stanley via Dip Falls, Tasmania

Sunday 28th April 2019
Well we had a lovely night at Eagle’s Roost, after a lovely dinner that I was able to cook in the B&B kitchen, with some newfound knowledge that lemongrass in the oil absorbs the smell of the fish you are cooking so as not to smell out the whole house.  Good lesson especially when cooking in someone else’s kitchen. David really enjoyed the video footage of the animals on the farm.

This morning we were waited on with a beautiful cooked breakfast with all fresh vegetables grown on the farm. David had a vegetable omelette and I had poached eggs on a bed of fried vegetables. Tummy. Followed by lime marmalade and berry jam on toast. Helen’s hospitality was fantastic. A much enjoyed respite from camping.

The weather was still pretty average this morning, drizzling rain and overcast. We decided on a drove to Dip Falls, The Big Tree and Blue Hills Honey at Mawbanna. This was a good morning except the Honey place which is only new. The information about the bees was really interesting.  We had a yummy ice cream here though – DB had Date, Manuka Honey and Cinnamon and I had Blue Box Honey and Hazelnut.

We then headed back to Rocky Cape for an 8.7km bush walk looking towards Table Cape, we also did a couple of little side tracks to Cathedral Hill and Tinkers Lookout. It was a lovely 2 hrs 20min walk. From here we headed to Stanley for the night.

All in all though we had a lovely day. Back at the campground again tonight.
