Wineglass bay in Frecinet National park is probably one of the most iconic places in all of Tasmania.

It’s a rewarding 30 minute hike up to the lookout, and then about 40 more minutes to get down to the beach. By the time we got there we were all pretty hot, but the water was a bit chilly to duck in for a swim!

A friendly wallaby was making the rounds on the beach, obviously hoping for an easy feed. We named him “Stinky” for his pleasant aroma.

It’s a long hike back to the car from the beach, and by the time we got there we were quite exhausted. Not being a seasoned walker I felt that I was done for the day, however Mel convinced us to do another “20 minute walk” around a lighthouse. Thank goodness she did; it was probably the most spectacular scenery that I’ve ever seen in my life!
