Hello everyone! Previously we were going to go to Maria Island today. The ferry was all booked up though, so we continued sightseeing. Our first stop was Orford for a convict made road. We pulled up at the site and started our walk along a little dirt road with lots of stones buried in it. This road would take us to the convict built road, or so we thought. We walked along the road until we were met with a river dead end. Turns out, the horrible little road we had just walked along was the convict built road; not as we had imagined. Needless to say, we were very unimpressed. Next stop was another convict built attraction; the spiky bridge. Aptly named, it was a bridge with rock jutting out the tops of the sides. It was very interesting and unique. The sign stated that no-one knows why the spikes were added to the bridge’s design. Then we drove to Kate’s Berry Farm. Unfortunately only jams and chocolate coated fruits were sold, no fresh berries, so we were soon on our way again. Following this was a walk along the cast and through the town of Swansea. The walk was okay, but slightly boring as it travelled through a golf club and streets. For lunch we travelled to Lost Falls where we also completed a short walk to the disappointingly small waterfall. The walk also lead us to some small pools which ranged in depth. After Lost Falls, we travelled to another bridge; this one at Campbelltown. The town also featured beautiful woodcarvings, a Church for sale and an awesome cellar bookshop. As we entered the bookshop, I was immediately drawn to the books on fashion and Gabby browsed the fiction section, whilst Mum and Dad looked over recipe books and books on pigs. 2 purchases later, a cookbook and a book on pigs, we drove to Ross. We looked at another bridge that was just as stunning as its predecessors. Next we headed to Oatlands where we bought a loaf of heavy and delicious-looking bread and walked around the town. The walk lead us around town, through the streets, to a windmill that used to be used as a mill. We are currently back at Tribuna, behind a pub with 14 other campers.
Hope you’re all having a fabulous holiday,
Maddy.
