We didn\u2019t escape Stanley until nearly mid-day, so the day was just going to be just about driving west as far as Tasmania allows. Departing Stanley we turn onto the Bass Hwy once again. The Bass Hwy has numerous signs identifying it as the Northern Forage, a bit of a tourist thing like the North Coast 500 in Scotland or the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single land road is an easy drive with little traffic. As you can see from the photo above the countryside has changed to sweeping grazing country. It\u2019s mid afternoon when we arrive in Marrawah<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marrawah has an inn and hall, but more importantly it has a free camp by the Green Point Beach so we continue down to have a look. It\u2019s a little crowded but we manage a nice level spot on the bitumen so things are looking good. Mind you nowhere is perfect. As the afternoon passes we are sure that Marrawah is Aboriginal for \u2018many flies\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
