G’day all,
I will say up front…I forgot the camera…oops. Today will followed the 4WD track out to the Friendly Beaches in the Freycinet National Park in Tasmania’s South East. Dubbed as a 4×4 offroad track, the track was interesting yet pretty docile as a 4WD challenge rates. Saying that the drive was enjoyable travelling through nice forest and crossing ??? creek a couple of times. For those who have travelled the Yeagurup Dunes track in South West of WA, the scenery reminded me of home (without the dunes and the beach run). The track was about 12 klm long and contained a campsite near the end of the track. I was expecting to be able to drive on the beach on arriving at the end of the track but sadly this is a no go…hello barrier…and what a dissapointment. To descend onto the beach and travel to the far end of the beach and loop back through forest would have made this track unique and quite frankly – awesome…what a shame!
Is the track still worth doing…yes…I would have a look if you are in the region and have a 4WD. The beach (although windy when we were there) was beautiful and I bet the fishing would also be very good. So pencil it in as something to do when visiting the Freycinet National Park and just enjoy the drive for what it is.
