Today's adventure included a trip to Eaglehawk Neck about 100 km from our home, in the South East 'corner' of Tasmania. This 100 meter narrow isthmus of land leads to historic Port Arthur, the infamous prison settlement established about 1830. One of my many guidebooks indicates there was little risk of successful escape from Port Arthur prison by the inmates as the isthmus was guarded by a line of vicious guard dogs chained across the width of the isthmus. Escape by water was equally perilous as the surrounding waters were reported to be shark-infested.
We experienced no problems as we travelled in the comfort of our van to the sounds of 'Great Big Sea' (no pun intended).
Here's a few pictures of our day out:
Yeah, more beaches and the kids couldn't resist the water (what kid
can
?)
It was a really lovely day.
