Tassie Tour Week 2

Myrtle Park Recreational Grounds will be memorable as a lovely grassy campground but more for the torrential overnight rain. At 4am I rolled over and discovered that the rain was coming in through the back door and saturating my pillows. After some weatherproofing measures were taken I tried to get back to sleep with the rain pouring down. Others had issues with water in there vehicles as well. Worse affected were the tent girls.

St Columba Falls near where we stayed at Pyengana.

We were first group to arrive at Pyangana recreation area and found it saturated from the rain which wasn’t abating. Water lay in puddles and was pooling at the side of the road.

The amount and power of the water pouring down the falls was unbelievable.

The next morning we had to check that the water had receded as it had been over the bridge the previous night.

The Carved Memorial Trail at Legerwood, it so wet that we didn’t even get out of our vehicles.

Lovely sunny weather in St Helens. We left our vehicles for a bus trip up around the Bay of Fires. Featured were many white sandy beaches and rock formations.
