Wynyard and Fossil Bluff, Table Cape

After a short drive from Cooee Point to the car boot market in Wynyard we set out to discover some more of Tasmania's delights.
Arriving at Fossil Bluff, clear crystal waters


The view from the car park


Fossils embedded in the rocks millions of them from the volcanic erruptions


The view North from the beach featuring the bluff

The view south from the beach taking in the headlands still to discover

The beautiful native grasses along the beach
The view Nth from the bluff overlooking the Wynyard Golf Club

After a fabulous walk & lunch by the ocean we went back to town and checked out the showground, where the locals were still playing cricket so we headed to a look at Table Cape Lighthouse & poppy fields along the way


These paddocks are all over Tassie, the opium poppies that provide around 70% of
the worlds supply of opiates for drug companies. Highly guarded & protected. Very big industry
for Tasmania.

The beautiful Table Cape Lighthouse, the only public access working Lighthouse in Tassie, overlooks a gorgeous Tulip farm in Spring

The view from the lookout, photo doesn't do the view justice, it was just magnificent.


Our trusty home enjoying the view


While tulips cover these fields in Spring, I think Lillies are currently growing here, not many flowers ATM

Then back to town & witnessed the locals enjoying a fabulous afternoon on the river


For my massage friends, this is the plaque for Frederick Alexander, 
who created & discovered the Alexander Technique.
