Very beautiful drive from Launceston to Lake St. Clair climbing through a winding mountain pass. Got to the park around noon to find that they had no campsites available, but we were welcome to stay in the hotel parking lot nearby. After going for a good hike, we decided to move closer to Hobart so we'd have more time there tomorrow, rather than stay into the evening (even though it was hard to resist that parking lot!). We saw no animals, leaving before dusk. However, hanging out any longer wasn't appealing because of the large flies that plagued you any time you stood still. This was the first time on the trip that bugs were an issue. These guys didn't bite, but boy, we're they annoying! It was hard to ignore them, even though they weren't harming us. It was interesting to practice that, none the less (and I think we're going to run into the same thing at Uluru).
We're spending the night at New Norfolk, about 1/2 hour from Hobart. Chocolate Tim Tams for Valentine's Day.
