Tasmania - Onward to Swansea

After Cradle Mountain we headed to the east side of Tasmania for the first time. The east side is the more popular side of the island because  it has lots of sandy beach coastline and is more populated and developed.

We had splurged a bit on the cottage because we were going to stay there over Christmas. It was right on the beach. What a dream. We were able to take long walks in front of the house but also just chill in the very nice living room and the terrace overlooking the bay.

Swansea was also a good hub for some very nice other attractions like wineglass bay.

Because we had quite a trip ahead of us from Cradle Mountains to Swansea, we decided to schedule a stop at Mole Creek and visit some of the caves in the area. The caves were magnificent. And as old as earth itself almost evidences by the enormous build-up of stalagmites and stalactites.
