day 6 wineglass bay

day 6 was spent at Freycinet National Park. there's a million bays and beaches in this park. we climbed up to the wineglass bay lookout (took about 1+ hour: steep ascent!) although the weather was gloomy, the view of the bay was still magnificent.

u might wonder why its called the wineglass bay. well, eons ago in the 1890s ish time period this area was famous for whale hunting. whales in those days were really sought after. they would use the whale bones to make corsets and structures of big frumpy victorian dresses. they would use the blubber for fuel and stuff. so yeah, the Englishmen loved whales. As such, this bay was almost always covered with whale blood (which is red! dohhh) so when some explorer decided to climb the mountains in the area, he looked down at the bay, realised that 1. it was shaped like a wineglass 2. it was bloody red resembling wine... and taa-daa! wineglass bay. have to respect the English for being so erm. creative. lol
