Coles Bay

Coles Bay on the East Coast of Tasmania and looking at the Hazards in the 1st photo, then the opposite way in the second.

Photos of two types of flowers that grow in the wild in that area. These were taken with my phone.

Coles Bay, Tasmania, Australia.

Coles Bay on the East Coast of Tasmania is a small village on the edge of the Freycinet National Park.  The Bay has a small beach and the water can get rough in the blink of an eye.  Once years ago we camped there, these days it's very different, one wouldn't know that you were in the same place..  Beach Access is through the bush because the vegetation has grown back. A Parks Pass is required which we have.  The day we were there it was very windy and cold.
We drove up the hills after seeing the Hazards from a distance, and we were going to walk to the lookout to see Wine Glass Bay, but due to the bad weather plus there was nowhere to leave the caravan we didn't.
There are tours to wine glass bay, the bay being shaped like a wine glass, there are dolphins and whales along with other sea creatures to see if one takes the cruise to wine glass bay.

Coles Bay was the first place in the World to Ban plastic shopping bags in April 2003.

The Hazards are a rugged mountain chain in the Freycinet National Park.  These Hazards are said to be named after a local whaler, African-American Captain Richard Hazard.
The rocks are made of granite, Orthoclase, a pink feldspar, gives the mountains their pink tint, but not the day I took photos.

The narrow road back down, it's here we turned around with the caravan.

Love this Australian/Tasmanian tree.

The Boat sheds at Coles Bay.  Lots of Chinese tourist about all taking many photos like me.

The fun things of old!

Years ago a group of us went to Coles Bay when it was free to enter that town on the East Coast of
Tasmania.  We arrived about midnight, set up camp only to find in the morning that the tent door was facing totally the wrong way :) Well we were anxious to get to bed the night before.

Someone decided to take a photo of me before I could comb my hair or wash my face, but it doesn't matter.
We all hopped into the Ski Boat that we bought with us after breakfast and went fishing way out to sea, it was calm then the next minute it was very rough so we headed for the beach and made it.  One of the motors decided it wasn't going to work, but the other one still did work so all was well.

The camera was the best we had at that time :)

A photo of me in Hobart years ago at one of my cousins house.  It was at the time when long dresses/frocks were in fashion and at that time I made all my clothes, that way I could have a lot more.  I used to buy a pattern my size, make the dress, hang it up in the wardrobe and no altering was needed.  Can't say the same these days plus it's cheaper to buy clothes now, as the quality is not in the fabric that is available to buy.
