Uneventful flight to Tasmania, and picked up our next car rental – on the road again!

Drove to Port Arthur from Hobart, mostly along the coast and the coastal scenery is wonderful.  The interior is a little less attractive although it became more lush as we progressed north.

We checked into our B&B at Port Arthur just in time for the rain to arrive!  But it cleared fairly quickly and we went to a lovely little beach – Safety Cove  Beach – recommended by our B&B host.  It was deserted and had the most gorgeous views.  Finished off with dinner at Felons, in the Port Arthur Penitentiary.

  First view of the Tasmanian Coastline.

  Peter lost in the sand patterns at Safety Cove.  Dinner with the ghosts of the convicts from the 19th century!
