We got up at about 3 for a wee and shuffled over to the amenities block. Both fully relieved we took a short cut on the way back and I walked into what I thought was a picnic table!! All of a sudden I was stopped by my leg hitting something hard.This wasn't expected and gave me a bit of a shock. I hobbled to the side a bit and suddenly I triggered a bloody great big bright as daylight security light. It was too late now. Why the hell hadn't it come on earlier! Anyhow no serious damage done and it was back to the camper for some more sleep. In the morning we had breakfast and then drove down to the Port Arthur historic site. It is the ruined remains of a penal colony. Convicts did harsh brutal prison time here. We went to the visitors centre and discovered that it would be $32 each to look round. We felt that this was a waste of money so we just had a look around the shop, bought some post cards and left. When we drove away the car park was filling up with loads of tourists so we had done the right thing. The place had a foreboding sadness about it and coachloads of Germans and Japanese would have just added to the misery. I feel that Tasmania generally has a sad feel to it which isn't surprising given it's brutal history. The worst of the worst convicts were incarcerated here and the European settlers brutally culled the native Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The scenery here is beautiful but the atmosphere is heavy and the people are as a mad as a very large box of frogs! And a lot of them look dangerous!! From Port Arthur we went to the Tasman National Park. On the way there we drove through Doo Town. This is a cute little place full of lovely shacks all with names with Doo in the title like, Doo F**K All, Love Me Doo and Doo Me! Just beyond Doo Town were the Tasman Arch and the Devils Kitchen. They were stunning sights where the ocean is pounding in. We then drove to the Tasman Blowhole. This was a great sight but not as good as the blow hole at Bicheno. There was a really lovely looking chippy van here so we just had to have some lunch. I had squid and chips and Jay had fish and chips. She had the fish of the day which was a ******* Trumpeter! It tasted real good. After lunch we drove further down to the Tessellated Pavement. This was an area on the shore that looked man made but was a natural pavement. Jay kept referring to it as the Petrified Footpath! Next it was back up the peninsula through the fire damaged areas and the next stop was at a place called Sorell to do some shopping at Coles. From here we headed to the capital city of Tasmania, Hobart. We rocked up to the Discovery Holiday Park in Mornington but they were full. The guy on reception though was very helpful and he checked availability at their other Hobart site at Risdon. Luckily they had space and he told us how to get there. We put the address in Tom Tom but we took a wrong turn, but wow what a great wrong turn. We were taken over the big bridge with a great city view. Hobart seems to be a great place, it's certainly in a beautiful waterside location. We eventually got to the Risdon camp site and we were really happy as It was in a far better location than the other site. The other one was next to a freeway but this one was on the edge of the city in the bush. There were only six powered sites here and they were all en suite sites. Each site had it's own private bathroom which was a lovely bit of luxury for us. They even provided crisp and lovely white towels, much better than the tatty rags we've been using!! We chilled out for the rest of the day. When we were making our tea we saw some of the local wildlife. We were visited by the cutest Bandicoots. They are kind of a cross between a large rat and a small wallaby. We went to bed early ,as is usual. We have another city to explore tomorrow.
