Sunday started at 6:00 and 7 degrees. The night was made comfortable by electric blankets and donnas. The 40k drive down to Strahan took some 45 minutes of spirited driving on the twisty road with 35klm corners every 100 metres.
Great test road for Top Gear or my old Skyline GTR. The trip to Strahan was to connect with the Gordon River Cruise. A trip to the Devels Gate entrance to Macquarie Harbour was a real eye opener with the entrance only 80m wide offering access to Australia's second largest harbour, Port Phillip the largest, and 10 times larger than Sydney Harbour. The Gordon wilderness was superb with a seemingly endless variety of vegetation of trees, shrubs and flowering bushes. On the return boat trip we called into Sara Island which was a penal facility in the early 1800s with a reputation of extreme cruelty and deprivation. A part of Australia's history I was not aware. Weather deteriated on the way back on the cruise with strong winds and rain. The whole day was one on squalls, Sunshine, rain and gales. Great day overall.
