The wonder of Triabunna

So after the excitement of the tasman peninsula we decided to head for Triabunna.



Triabunna isn't very big, but it does boast this wonderful Telstra tower.



We were quite excited about this, well Madhatter was quite excited about this, as we had been under the impression that Tasmania was void of any form of telecommunications or internet. Madhatter was SO excited she promptly bought a telstra sim card from the triabunna pharmacy.... and then swapped it for another one when it didn't work. I'm pretty sure the lovely lady at the pharmacy thought madhatter was some sort of scam artist from the big smoke stealing extra sim card accounts from innocent tasmanians.

Shortly after our cellphone coverage excitement we discovered that the rabbit hole went even deeper! Triabunna had an 'internet access centre'. Internet in Triabunna?!! Could it be true? We would later discover that quite a few small towns in tasmania have these, and we'd also discover that they are never open.
It was all too exciting, so I visited the triabunna op-shop to buy a very classy grey belt to hold my pants up (long story).

It was time to leave triabunna and head north along the east coast of this amazing little island.

One of the first obligatory stops was at the 'spikey bridge', wonder why it's named that?



Our trusty steed, what a great car! (tune in next week to hear about the Mazda 121 Rally Team taking on the lake district :-)



Further along the road we noticed the forest fire on the freycinet peninsula (that's where we were going...)



But first we had an appointment with this berry farm, which just happened to make home made berry ice cream (yum!) and home made scones with berry jam and cream (also yum!). There would have been picture of the yummy food but we were both too busy eating to take photos :-)



Burp. Time for more driving. Doesn't the freycinet peninsula look cool. Shame it's on fire :-)



But hey, that sort of thing shouldn't stop you having fun.



Next stop: Freycinet Peninsula and the wonderful wineglass bay.
