Orford - East coast



Headed east from Hobart on Thursday, only to be stopped at Triabunna about 80kms away.
Fires had started @ Coles bay near Swansea & also Bicheno further north

Stayed couple nights behind the pub @ Triabunna (gold coin donation for firies & ambo's)


Headed back to Orford 7kms away, lovely Shelley beach for a dip !!! water still pretty cold


Maria island in the background.  Once to fires took hold further north, we couldn't see the island for smoke haze for at least 4 days


Nice view !!!!!


Another good campsite, just up the road from beach & shops
Donation in tin @ IGA grocery store


Sanda House, early settlers homestead (1840)


Sanda house is now a boutique B & B
 
 


Prosser river @ Orford


Heading back to Hobart on 10/1/13
