Tuesday 18 March: Today was a wilderness Cruise up the Gordon River and over to Sarah Island in Macqaurie Harbour. Sarah Is. was a brutal prison between 1822 and 1833 and couldn't be anymore isolated either. Strahan was packed with tourists so spent the night in Zeehan. Zeehan is an old mining town, very reminiscent of Charters Towers and was once the 3rd largest town in Tasmania. The Gaiety Theathre was the largest in Tasmania at one time. Found an interesting shop selling antiques and crocoite, a mineral that is only found near Zeehan and is very sought after by collectors all over the world.
Next stop is Dove Lake & Cradle Mountain
