After a morning of birding in Freycinet, it was time to hit the road and head back to Hobart.  Swansea is about an hour’s drive from Coles Bay and makes a good lunch stop.  There are a few take-aways and sit-down cafes to choose from, most with a beautiful view of the sea.

I don’t know what happened to this poor bird.  I know you’re not supposed to feed wild birds but I took pity on this one and gave him some of my sandwich.  It can’t be easy trying to catch fish when you only have one leg to balance on!

After leaving Swansea we passed these picturesque riverside houses.
