We then headed further south to Maingon Bay Lookout and the Remarkable Cave.
This is a beautiful area.
The sign said a 15 minute walk to the Remarkable Cave, OMG, how steep are these never ending stairs? The stairs wrecked my knee's and it took me 30 minutes to climb back up! However, it was worth the pain and really something to see. Interesting that when the tide is out the cave entrance looks like a map of Tasmania.
Next on the list to visit is the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park.
This turned out to be a disaster. I chose a souvenir for Hayden and as I was finishing my transaction Glenn commented that it was dearer here than at Port Arthur, to which the very rude woman serving me snapped "WELL, GO BACK THERE THEN!" So, Glenn put our $52 entrance fee back in his pocket and we left. I was disappointed to not see the park, but we weren't going to give anymore of our money to that horrible woman, and besides, there are plenty of other places to see Tasmanian Devils.
On to Eaglehawk Neck to see the Blowhole, Fossil Bay, Tasmans Arch and the Devil's Kitchen.
The Blowhole is a collapsed sea cave and tunnel.
Fossil Bay Lookout.
Tasmans Arch is what is left of a large sea cave.

The Devil's Kitchen is a gulch which was once a sea cave.
We then went to Richmond, we got a site at the caravan park and went into town to have a look around. We ended up at the river and saw the oldest bridge in Australia. This bridge was built by convicts in 1843 and is still used every day. Glenn made some new friends teehee.
We had a quick look at St. John's Catholic Church which is the oldest Catholic Church in Australia, the lady at the church was lovely and we decided to go back tomorrow and have a really good look around.
When we got back to the caravan park it was pouring and freezing cold so we upgraded to a cabin. The cabin was crap, there were holes and stains on the lino floor, laminate missing off the cupboard, the utensils were dirty and there was no hot water. We slept on the bed but in our sleeping bags. The place creeped me out.
