| The day started with fetching a hire car, because today we have to
go to Strahan, a trip on about 300 km, but it isn't any road that we
know it, on the way we got past a large hydroelectric power station,
where one leads , water in large tubes from above the lake, down to the
turbine, we also mendinged up at the lake Lake ST. Clair, a large
beautiful lake, where one can almost only become too short. We had to go
further against Strahan, and over top passed Lake Burbury, but first
through Queenstown, where the area clearly showed signs of the mining's
wearing down, that is however made initiatives in the shape of limiting
the pollution, it could be seen that the plants had started to grow
again. the last part of the trip from Queenstown to Strahan about 30 km.
if a road-piece with 300 turns is thus the average-speed wasn't
particularly great, that was almost dark when we reached forward, saw in
at the hotel, The Strahan Village, and out in order to get something to
eat, then had that day gone. |

| We wake*up till a splendid morning the inlet mirror was blank, after
the breakfast we drove a few km. whether to
The West Coast Wilderness
Railway, an old railway up at the mountain to Queenstown, of which half
participates so large rise that there is a rack mounted between the
rails and a gear wheel on the locomotive, because otherwise that
wouldn't be able to step down out of the rises, a lovely trip over the
mountain, with beautiful view, lovely service in the car, a drive that
bade for many lovely impressions, well in front in Queenstown, was we
gone for back with bus. After the train-trip we drove out against west
of to see the narrow entering to the inlet, the place is named
Hell Gate,
the days aren't so long on that season, thus it turned dark while we
were out there, the day ended with a good meal food at the hotel.

| Today the plan is a trip to the old prison camp Gate Arthur who lies
south east of Hobart, a drive on about 100 km, the drive goes like the
other days through beautiful landscapes and on the road we get past
Devils Kitchen, which is some cliff formations, in the same area
Blowhole lies, a small lake deeply down in the rocks, where there
through the rock out against the water a large hole is like this that in
stormy weather is pressed a lot of seawater down large pressure into the
lake so wateryly syringes many metres up in the air, that was calm
weather that day we were there, but I have invented a couple of pictures
the net that shows how it looks. Gate Arthur is a very great hilly area
where in the middle of 1800 there the number was built a large penal
camp, many of the houses still back are some however like ruins, it'll
become too much of writing about gate Arthur here, but if you want to
