Part 2 - The East

While leaving the Port Arthur peninsula, we inspected the tesselated beach, a short stroll from the car park.

We camped in the national park near Coles bay. Unfortunately, the sea was a bit cold The next day we would walk across one of the passes in the background.

On our way to Wineglass bay, we look back to Coles bay. Pappa did not take the cover off his phone, which explains the top right corner - the kids are determined to give pappa a proper phone cover for his birthday.

First glimpse of Wineglass bay

Juliana in the background

Juliana does not like the camera, but managed to walk the 6 km without much trouble.

In the evening, we watch penguins returning from a day's fishing. They don't mind the red light and the tourists, which they need to pass on the way to their burrows every day. We were told just to stand still, which worked surprisingly well: one penguin walked between the legs of a tourist in our group.

We probably saw 40-odd penguins coming ashore. They would assemble on the beach in little groups like these before making their way to their nests.

We visited Seahorse World. They conserve some rare species, but also bred sea horses for sale all over the world, including wholesalers in the Netherlands.
