Down the West Coast

The road down the west coast is often very windy, it’s surprising to see a road train make it around the corners
The west coast is also very windy, the waves smashing against the pancake rocks were so loud

Niamh fed and petted some ~100 year old eels
We stopped off for a hot bath in water from the glacier
It was very windy at Gillespie beach so we had to take the front off the tent. The wind did protect us from the sandflies which ate us alive in the morning. A possum was hanging out in there during the night and rudely did a poo on the roof
The campsite had some great views, could just about see the milky way in the night sky
