Zeb and Eider Duck and the humans are driving in Tasmania. Leaving the Hobart area, we head north to the East Coast Road We stop at the Prosser River at a boat launching place.
We could launch a boat here
We see no other humans. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Look at this clear water.
Look at these shells
We can see these shells so clearly. And, none of these shells seem to be broken. Aren’t they beautiful? We stopped in Orford for breakfast.
Ready for breakfast
Orford is a nice town on the Prosser Bay and River.
Town of Orford
Look at this picnic area on the Prosser Bay. We love the water.
We like the beach at Orford
We ducks are sitting on a gas grill.
This is for all to us
This is available for picnics. Zeb and Eider are not the only birds that like this grill.
Company of our kind on the gas grill.
Further up the coast, we see Mayfield Bay.
We like Mayfield Bay
As we travel near the east coast of Tasmania, we saw several vineyards. This is winter in Tasmania, so the vines are cut back.
Vines cut back for winter
There were several wineries we passed that were open for tours and tasting. We did not stop. The humans were more interested in the water views. Just north of Swansea, we drove to the end of the Nine Mile Beach Road to another boat launch at Bagot Point Coastal Reserve.
Driving on that road brought us here
This was looking back at the road that guided us here. We saw stormy skies here.
Stormy skies but no rain today
These rocks are our color.
Yellow ducks on yellow rocks
Just a couple yellow rocks among the regular rock colored ones. Driving in Tasmania, we saw so many sheep. Many more than sheep than people.
We love the sheep
We are fascinated with these sheep. Different sizes, some recently sheared, some with heavier coats. We love them all. This is 4 Mile Creek, north of St. Marys.
We liked 4 Mile Creek
This white sand is beautiful. Today we wanted you to see a little of the landscape in eastern Tasmania. We think Tasmania is beautiful.
