Lake Burbury East Foreshore

by in Tasmania, Trip

As soon as we packed up at Macquarie Heads it started to rain. The howling wind made it a horizontal rain and we left the hordes of quad bikers clad in yellow wet weather gear and took the 11 km of corrugated road back.

We visited the historic place called Queenstown and it has not much to offer. It’s clearly a mining town that has lost most of its glory.

On leaving town we saw a bright spot along the road that made us smile, despite the heavy rain.

Leaving town, the road went steeply up a hill and gave a watery view of town.

The wet rock face made for some pretty pictures.

And some mini waterfalls.

The lookout wasn’t as spectacular as we thought.

So we went down hill again.

We decided to go to the next nearest campsite and read a book in the bus.
When the rain stopped for half an hour it was time to walk the dogs.
