Late posting here. This is what I wrote last night but didn't get to post as it (pardon the french) pissed down all night and only signal I can get is outside the van. Yesterday, we did a run up the East coast as far north as Cathedral Beach including another inland track to Lake Allom. Turtles inhabit the lake. They're very curious - they come right up to surface within a metre of you but quickly duck away as soon as the shutter on the camera fires.
We stopped at the Maheno wreck a couple of times - the second time there were no tourists swarming around so grabbed the opportunity. Bloody tourists! Oh wait...
The Maheno was a NZ passenger liner that was blown ashore by a cyclone in 1935 while being towed to a Japanese scrap yard. It's been busy rusting away ever since and is now a popular tourist attraction.
We visited the mouth of Eli Creek along with about 100 other people. It's amusing to see 3 or 4 Troop carriers pull up and when you take a second look a minute or so later, there's a multitude of people pouring out. Suddenly there are people everywhere. How many backpackers can you fit in a troopie? Hundreds, I think!!!
