tassie day 3. sand dunes and strahan


Except for pic of wooden timber boat and fudge place, the rest were of Hefty Sand Dunes. This place is situated along the West COast of Tasmania and the Sand Dunes is a product of wind erosion over millions of years, where the wind carried the sand from the beach up to another spot and all that sand over the years developed into the sand dune. The beach u see in the middle row is the Ocean Beach.

The dune and beach is terribly secluded and thus many things are very erm. natural i would say. no plastic bottles left behind. We left behind only our footprints (mum's one in top row) and we even spotted the wallabee's footprint (Left middle row).

Sand dunes are damn difficult to walk on. was a damn good workout under the sun. but the view was .. very nice and unspoilt by mankind.

and to the wooden boat, taken in the little town called Strahan along the west coast of tasmania too. The people there, since eons ago, would collect stray timber logs and crave and make boats out of them, so that they could go out to fish and all. obviously now they dun do such things anymore, so instead our frens in the village decided to make chopping boards and matching wooden vases. prob of the tourism influx bah. we bought a cheeseboard and pen holder from the town.

oh and besides wooden gifts, the fudge at strahan is DAMN GOOD. and damn fattening too lah. of course. hohohoho
