The drive from Queenstown to the North Coast was beautiful. Around every corner there was a stunning view and you would go from grazing land to thick forests then back to grazing land with little towns (three houses...) in between.
We hit the North Coast at Burnie and spent a few days exploring the area. We even ventured out after dark to watch the penguins come home to feed their babies. They are truly tough little critters. Their nests are in the most difficult to get to spots, yet ever night they make the trek from the water to their nests, over rocks, up steep shorelines, even over roads!!!
Next we headed to Stanley. Another beautiful seaside town. We didn't climb the Nut as the weather was not in our favour. We did however visit Highfield House, another historic site and it was well worth the visit. We even strolled around the local cemetery!
We will now head west along the coast line and then, who knows!!!! SO many photos, this is just a few.....
