Mount Fortescue

Just before leaving camp, Charlotte stumbled upon the old track, which looked much better than the fancy new track. We took this and slipped and skidded our way up Mount Fortescue before rejoining the new track a little before the summit. The views along here were spectacular and it was interesting how quickly the vegetation changed, jungle like rainforest, to scrub and bush and marsh. After a couple of hours we got the Cape Huay and the returned to the car for lunch.
On the way back we detoured to many geological features on the coast: "The blowhole" "The devil's kitchen" "The Tasman arch", which were all very impressive. Next a visit to Eaglehawk Neck and the old millitary hut museum, the oldest timber millitary building in Australia still standing (1832), learnt a lot about the penal colony on the Tasman Peninsula. To round the trip off, we stopped at The Tessalated Pavement a cool inter-tidal rock platform with regular square shaped "tiles"
