Gismo Queen and her King

Day 11 - Friday 7 January 2021 - Strahan to Miena

 We were booked into the Wall at Derwent Bridge at 12pm so had to time our departure to allow driving time for that. We also needed to fill with water and WikiCamps told us there was a place in Queenstown but when we got there it was too far away and didnt have an adaptor. So we kept going and as it turns out, only just got to Derwent Bridge in time for our tour. The Wall is an amazing Huon Pine wall 3 metres high and 100 metres long sculpted into a series of iconic Tasmanian features. It is not 100% finished and that is deliberate so viewers can see how the artist works. Unfortunately, it is chained off so Greg could not touch it, which made it difficult for him to appreciate. However, at the end I approached one of the staff who turned out to be the son of the sculptor and he let Greg touch a few different individual pieces. It was all very impressive. We then had lunch in the van before Lisa and Paul headed for Lake St Clair and we found a water point in Derwent Bridge to fill our tanks. We then headed straight to Miena to set up at the Great Lake Hotel. As it was our last night together, we had dinner at the pub which was pretty good.
