They say Sunday is a day of rest, and that is what we had planned :). A whole lot of nothing.

One of the reasons for revisiting Strahan is to ride on the Wilderness Railway, but it does not run on a Sunday.  The plan is to have a rest day, do a load of washing and just generally look around.

I had thought we could have dinner at  lovely restaurant that is situated high above Strahan Harbour and has lovely sunset views…until we realised that the sun does not go down until after 8:30pm…  Too late for us 🙂

So we thought we could perhaps go up and have lunch.   No such luck. :(. They are only open for buffet breakfast and buffet dinner.

I was able to take some lovely photos from the deck though.

We called into the Gordon River Cruise office to ask where we needed to go for the Wilderness Rail and were told to “keep following the harbour around to the other side and you cannot miss it.”. The only reason we could miss it from where we were was that the cruise boat was in the way 🙂

Sure enough we found the station and where we needed to park.  The carriages were at the station so we got a good look at both them and the station cafe.

There are also great views across the harbour looking at Strahan itself.  I am sure they would be extra lovely without the cloud 🙂

We have not decided yet if we will have lunch at the station when we return, or whether we have lunch in Queenstown on our way to our next night’s accommodation at Lake St Claire.

Back to the cabin for a cup of tea and find somewhere for lunch.  We had decided to go out for lunch and then finish the last of the roast chook on sandwiches for dinner.

Well that proved easier said than done:(. It appears that not much at all in Strahan opens for lunch 🙁

We found “The Kitchen” on the Esplanade and had nice meals. (Meatball Linguine & a Seafood Basket.

Back to the cabin and I did a load of washing (and typed this blog) while he had a bit of a nap 🙂

We will get up tomorrow,have breakfast, pack the car, head to the station for our Wilderness Railway trip and then head east again toward Hobart.
