St Helens to Swansea

It was one of those morning when you fall back asleep. Not that I was up late. We had an easy day today, mooching our way down to Swansea.

First we head out to Akaroa, yes named after Akaroa in NZ. There was an immigrant came to the area in the 40s and named his house Akaroa. The name stuck for the area.

Following as close as the road can take you down the coastline. I saw a feeding frenzy with Pelicans. I made Rowan turn around so I could photograph them. The scenery is much like when you go to Europe and you see a cathedral. It just be aimed another beautiful beach. I can see why Tasmanians try to keep this island a secret.

I think people compare it with NZ because the scenery is changes fast here like home. Where a lot of Australia is the same for miles. people are also a lot friendlier.

We got to Swansea at 1pm and killed some time by taking a look around and going to an op shop. I will make sure I take a photo of our finds soon.

Along the way we saw this cool Spikey Bridge which was made by convicts.

We made it to our little cottage on the sea. The view is fantastic. Not a bad spot for our last night awa of our road trip. Tomorrow we will stay at Aunty Christine’s.
