Day 22 - Trial harbour, Zeehan, Rosebery
Tuesday, 18 February 2014
After a glorious sunset, nothing like a west coast for sunset we said goodbye to this little harbour and met the 4WD Action film crew. They were going to try the Climies Track, hard in our book and HH had promised me no Hard Tracks. There is a bridge out so they will have to find someway across it. We moved on, could feel envy eminating from my driver. He had to satisfy himself with a small track before we hit the Tarmac again. Passed an old fire lookout, unfortunately right next to some power lines.
Drove straight through Zeehan on to Rosebery. Montzuma falls just before town, it is in the Short Walks book that we have and are endeavouring to do all 60 of them. These are Tassie's tallest falls. The sign said a 9km walk (short?, not in my mind:) allow 3hrs. These time estimates are like a red rag to my HH, almost as if he has to prove to himself that he can do it in less. Glad it wasn't a hot day at least, and not raining. Quite a lot of squishy mud areas. We must have passed at least 50 or so people walking back. Not until we got there did I realise how lucky we were to have the place to ourselves. Not a large viewing area. The suspension bridge only allows to people on it at a time. Made myself walk across it. My pedometer said 13,476 steps by the time we got back (2:45)! Legs quite tired, but knee ok.
Not far into Rosebery and the very first shop was an OP. After buying myself some brand new (still in wrapper) wool socks for $2 and getting the what's what from the delightful assistants we went to get a site at the CP, need to wash some clothes (and bodies:). Walked up to The Top Pub for a beer and a huge ycurried scallop meal, loads of fresh vegetables, yum all for $15. Doing well this year on pigging out.
