Having decided not to do the cruise today we set off for Tasman Arch. This is a cliff where the roof has caved in and left an arch. A short walk and you come to Devil's Kitchen. Same sort of thing where water has eroded the cliff face. Not sure how the name came about. Very pleasant scenery. Driving back down to the main road we spot another lookout over a bay and turn in there. It is actually a whale watching area as the whales come there to calf. Of course there were no whales today but a very pretty spot. After another discussion about the kayaks we head back to Remarkable Cave (our aborted walk of yesterday). We first head to Maingnon Bay Lookout which is across the road from Remarkable Cave. This lookout takes in the towering dolomite columns of Cape Raoul when you look out across the bay. Crossed the road to Remarkable Cave which has two entrances, one from the water and the one we took down 130 stairs to a steel walkway to a viewing platform. You then look out through the cave at the sea on the other side and the shape of the opening is meant to look Tasmania. The roof of the cave has collapsed so the sky is above as you look up the sandstone cliffs. After climbing back up the stairs we drive back to the van. Our last night at what has been a truly beautiful place to visit.
