Day 8 - Cradle Mountain campground to Zeehan caravan park -106 km / 460 m in hills  Day 8 starts very quickly with a long uphill section, and the day is long and fairly difficult. Having just come through Tullah, we had a 100 metre climb coming up (range in background) although it felt much more. I think my altitude calculations were badly wrong.  The Zeehan caravan park has huge open spaces to spread out in, and the local museum was well worth a visit. Day 9 - Zeehan caravan park to Lake Burbury campground - 115 km / 690 m in hills  This was the longest day so far and very hard. The lunch time stop in Strahan was nice, but we had to keep going. The drop down into Queenstown was long and fast, but the climb up the other side was equally long and steep. Lake Burbury campground is more-or-less a big oval on the edge of Lake Burbury Day 10 - Lake Burbury campground to Cynthia Bay campground -68 km / 730 m in hills  Day 11 - rest day Wallaby and joey and Cynthia Bay campground. We also saw platypus in the evening.  Day 12 - Cynthia Bay campground to Wayatinah campground - 61 km / 280 m in hills  Day 13 - Wayatinah campground to Mount Field National Park campground - 64 km / 470 m in hills  This was a nice campground although supplies are hard to get. The small store is only open for a very short time each day. Day 14 - Mount Field National Park campground to home (Longley) - 116 km / 1,250 m in hills  (end) |
