Rode down to Richardsons Beach after getting our 2-month Tasmania National Parks passes. Our camping spot for tonight was within the Freycinet reserve just metres from the beach. It was a sunny day. Decided to climb Mt Amos, part of the range of granite mountains, known as the Hazards, which dominate Coles Bay. It was a tough climb, but offered spectacular views over Wineglass Bay. The mountain has smooth faces of granite which becomes perilously slippery when wet so fine conditions are essential for a safe descent. As we were descending, the rain came, making it treacherous. Nearly wore out shorts sliding about. Our shoes were not suitable for the wet descent. A lesson learnt- climb was 454m.
Treated ourselves to a very good meal and a decent Riesling from Clare.
