The Tasman peninsula was used as a hardcore penal colony for those original convicts who were shipped off to Australia and still repeatedly committed crimes. This is where the convicts went to church, each in their own little cubicle (1 - where's Betsy?) Some of the coastline of the Tasman peninsula (2). The northeast coastline (3) is again amazingly scenic and yielded our best campsite of the whole trip (4 & 5). After this, we headed back to Devonport and the ferry. Back on the mainland, we stayed with Blake and Helen again and had a traditional Aussie BBQ (with shrimp). On Monday we visited the ITG Australia office and they took us to a nice lunch on the South Bank.
Sadly the trip was soon over but we had Thanksgiving and the holidays to look forward to at home. Over the 2 months we drove over 15,000 kms (9400 miles) and not one oil change. But we did have to replace the cracked windshield.
