Wynyard – Zeehan – Strahan

It was a cold wet and very windy day. Gale Force winds have been predicted. Not sure if its such a good day to travel, but what else can you do but sit in the van. So drive we did. The van did get a much needed wash which was great.

A great house for sale on 1/2 acre just $155,000!

We almost got wipped off the road by a couple of trucks that weren’t stopping for anything, as well as a few huge gusts of winds that caught us coming off cliffs on the way down hills. This was quite scary at the time.

Arrived at Rosebery in time for lunch, and Zeehan in time for the last 2 hours at their fabulous museum. Needless to say we didn’t get to see it all. What a fabulous collection of old photos of the region that they have. So much history in photos. Also got to see the fabulous buildings they are restoring as a community heritage group – West Coast Heritage. They have done a fabulous job already of what they have.

Arrived in Strahan in time for a blistery visit to the very busy hotel for dinner. Were told we’d have a 20 minute wait for a table on a Wednesday night! Amazing!

Spent the night with many others on the water front at the boat launching ramp. Had the wind and rain beating against the van all night. Very cold. Hard to warm up enough to get to sleep. Minimum was 8o, but very bitie cold wind.
