Wednesday Feb 24, 2010 Strahan to Wynyard

Not much to say about the trip today. Not much to see. Just trees.

We did a side trip to Waratah. It was a prosperous mining town. It has a small waterfall which in the past operated 8 different waterwheels. The water falls are small now. Not sure if this is because water is diverted from the river to a power station not far away.

We stopped at the Hellyer Gorge but it wasn't much. We did the 15 min walk most of it beside the river. Another Australian couple wondered what there was to see as well. It was a letdown.
