Tasmania: Day 5

Day 5 (Friday) was spent travelling out to the east coast and the Bay of Fires.  It is called the Bay of Fires because when English settlers were first coming they saw Aboriginal fires on the coast, thus the Bay of Fires. All in all it was a nice afternoon to walk around the beach and explore.  Also found a swimming wallaby.  That was pretty weird and apparently never happens.  Friday night we went to see the penguins come in from the sea.  They come in late at night so predators have a smaller chance of getting them.  There weren't many, but there were a few.  They are not my pictures.  Cameras were strictly prohibited prohibited, so the Bicheno Penguin Tours offered these photos that do not harm the penguins.




Found Nemo!
