TRAVELLING SOUTH - THE HUON TRAIL

After our fabulous time at Cygnet it was further south along the Huon Trail. Cockle Creek at the bottom of the south east cape our destination. Spectacular scenery as we wind along the roadways. About 50kms of dirt and we reach Cockle Creek. Absolutely beautiful. We were tempted to go for a swim but the temperature of the water, in spite of it being a beautiful day, determined that it was a paddle only. Chickens we know. After what was a top day, weather wise, it turned nasty overnight. We decided not to endure the rain turn to mud and headed back northward. The cherries and apricots from the roadside stalls along the Huon Trail are magnificent.
