Coastal village life

Strahan was a delightful surprise.  This is the only settlement of note on Tasmania's wild and remote west coast. We wished we'd spent more time soaking up its carefully preserved village atmosphere and local sights.

The wild swept ocean beach, a few miles from town, was as desolate and dramatic as you'd ever want any remote ocean front to be.  It was a quite a contrast with the idyllic sunset we enjoyed from the balcony of our motel on the shores of Strahan's sheltered harbour.
