3rd Week - Sunday - Freycinet National Park - Swansea

Packed lunch and set off to Freycinet National Park.  Stopped at Devil's Corner Winery as they have a lookout over the area.   Back in the car and head for Cape Tourville.  There is a walk up to the lighthouse.  You are walking along the coastline with the mountains in the background.  You can also see the inlet into Wineglass Bay and the beach.  The view is absolutely amazing.  Back to the car and drove to the walks car park to find it full.  There would have been 100 to 120 cars.  There was nowhere for us to fit.    We drove down to Coles Bay which is a little village on the side of the National Park.  Had a stroll down to the waters edge and then decided as we couldn't park in the National Park we would go to Swansea instead.  Arrived there at lunch time so parked on the foreshore watching the waves role in with the mountains in the background.  Hunger taken care of we strolled around the town and out onto the jetty and sat to take the view in.   Back in the car and back to Bicheno.  We have decided to stay a couple more nights and will try the National Park again tomorrow to do the walk down to Wineglass Bay.  The lady in the caravan park office told us that people were complaining that they couldn't get a park to do the walks Saturday either.
