Tasmania: Freycinet National Park

This was the only sunny day during my visit and I had chop-and-changed my itinerary so that my visit to Freyicinet National Park coincided with the only nice day.

First stop was Sleepy Bay which was a short walk from the car park.

It was a struggle to get this shot. Trying to wrap my Gorillapod around my phone and then use self timer. 

Next stop was the Tourville Lighthouse.






And for the main attraction, Mt Amos! I was undecided if I wanted to do the easier walk to the Wineglass Bay Lookout or the climb to the summit of Mt Amos. I decided on Mt Amos due to sheer number of people embarking on the lookout walk. Once again, it was another bushwalk / hike that required a lot of rock scrambling. After much struggle, I reached the top! It was a sunny day but with tops of 15 degrees only. Therefore at the summit, it was considerably colder and super windy!


Look at the smooth surfaces.




The orange arrows were the path markers.



Food always tastes amazing at the summit.



The descent back to the carpark was hell. My shoes kept sliding and I ended up doing the backwards crab crawl for most of the way down. In some ways, it was actually harder than the boulder scramble at Cradle Mountain. There, it never felt that I would slide and fall to my death whilst at Mt Amos, it was a very smooth rockface. But I survived!
