Strahan

Our next destination was the little fishing town of Strahan on the west coast. This is a beautiful spot and the number of accommodation places is just astounding. Apparently it is very popular in the summer months but in winter there are not as many tourists around.

We spent three nights in Strahan and our time here included a cruise on the Gordon River.

Next we stopped for a tour of Sarah Island (cool name, eh?)










Sarah Island was Tassie's first penal settlement (older than Port Arthur).












Our very entertaining tour guide.





















































Ruined cells.









Sarah Island hosted petty criminals but these men were treated terribly.



































Duncan reckoned I looked like a burglar in my black beanie.
