Four Mile Creek





Four Mile Creek is on the East Coast of Tassie. It took us about 1 and a half hours to drive there. We went through St Mary's and stopped to get the necessary alcohol. Then continued on through the harrowing St Mary's Pass. Finally we arrive at this tiny and I mean tiny settlement of about 30 homes (no milkbar) to be greeted by our friends and hosts the Jensens.
We spent 5 days there exploring the area. Billabong Bay, Bay of Fires, St Helens etc. The weather was a lovely 23 degrees and it rained only once in the morning by the afternoon it was fine and sunny. We went over the Elephant pass to have lunch at the pancake barn there. That was sweet. Had a dinner in St Mary's Pub and Evandale Pub. Great meals. Finally came home Tuesday.

The only downer to the trip was on the way to we sat on the runway for 2 and half hours because of a faulty something then on the way back our morning flight was cancelled and they put us on an evening flight. 10 hours in Lauceston airport is enough to drive you potty!
Thanks John & Debbie for a relaxing and fun holiday.
