From Hobart we got in our trusty car Tessie (we're so clever) and drove up the coast to Coles Bay stopping along the way for Jam and dessert at a berry farm..yummm. There luckily was vacancy in the ONE hostel in Coles bay, its not a very big place, so we were able to stay for two nights.
Coles BayWhile exploring the town (it was too late to go hiking by the time we got there) we heard a band playing in a garage and so, not ones to be shy, we poked our head in the window to check it out since it was literally the ONLY noise in the town. Turned out to be only one guy, playing the guitar, harmonica, didge, and keeping time on the drums with his feet. Impressive. Without knowing us at all he invited us to come grill with him and his friends, rob and dan the fisherman, for dinner (love the tassie hospitality), .. so we chilled with them, grilled some snags, had some beers, and heard about the crazy party they threw the night before on their boat.. too bad we got there a day too late!
Wineglass BayThe next day we hiked to wineglass bay which is pretty much the main attraction in tassie. It was be-ea-uutiful, but I actually liked the beech on the other side of the bay better:
V. Pretty water; we went swimming, everyone thought we were crazy..but it was pretty warmRob and Dan had been out fishing all day and had brought back a big haul of abalone and some sort of whitefish, so we were invited to help them eat all of it!
Abalone grilled with garlic, lemon and butter. Yummmy (thats for you alice)
Master Chiefs Rob and Dan the Fishermen prepare the abalone for us

Our finished product: fish boulibaisse, cous couse, two salads, abalone, and stuffed potatoes...and the fish had been caught less than four hours before...love life
After dinner music Sesh
