Our first trip with the Toyota Commuter conversion to a campervan.
We selected one of our favorite trips with awesome views along the Huon River and the Channel.
The first stop was at Huonville to get some provisions and from there to Franklin where we used to camp with our old Mazda T3500 bus converted to a motorhome.
Franklin is located on the shores of the Huon River and has excellent camping facilities at an affordable cost ($10 per night or $30 per 4 nights). There are excellent restaurants just around the corner from the camping site, Aqua Grill is one of them.
From Franklin, we drive on the A6 to our stop overnight destination, Dover on the shores of Port Esperance which is on the Channel.
The weather was magnificent and a hot 30c so Eva, our Golden Retriever wasted no time in go to the beach and have a nice bath.
Dover apart from offering all the needs for a comfortable stay also is a good base for exploring all the attractions nearby including National Parks, the Hasting Caves, Thermal Springs and Southport among other attractions.
Next morning we went to explore the other side of the Huon River crossing the bridge before Huonville CBD and heading to Cygnet as our first stop. From there our first stop was Randalls Bay and then Eggs & Bacon Bay.
The views on the turn of the main road to Randalls Bay are magnificent.
Randalls Bay is a quiet and small location with a nice beach which offers nice fishing spots and snorkeling opportunities.
Eggs and Bacon Bay
Another nice beach and spot for a picnic with beautiful views.
From Randalls Bay, we continued along the coast to Verona Sands. The views from there to the Huon Island and the Channel making this spot a must.
From there we continued the road to Gordon which also offers a good camping and affordable spot with water and toilet facilities all next to the water for $5 a night!
Woodbridge and was our last stop and from there home.The views in this road are among the best in Australia and highly recommend a trip to do.
