After a quick breakfast on the beach near our caravan, we headed off to Strahan to catch the cruise boat! The trip was very exiting we learnt  a lot about the history of the bay and Gordon river which is in a World Heritage area. We had  2 stops on the way one was for a half an hour rainforest walk which was very beautiful and the other was on Sarah island an which they sent convicts to in the olden days. There was still old wrecks of buildings such as the individual isolation rooms, well they weren’t really rooms they were the same dimensions as coffins!

We had a yummy lunch then headed back to land! After a longish drive we arrived at lake St Clair and had Kelly pasta for dinner!

It was a very drizzly day but the scenery was still lovely. It rains 300 days per annum on average here.
