Today was a nice ride up the East coast to Swansea. Only one hill of around 100m, it is nice to be on the East coast which is relatively flat!

There are nice beaches to stop at...
... and glorious views of Freycinet, the national park seen as mounds in the distance.
The Camp Site - Swansea Beach Chalets
Official Web Site
This is on Shaw St, so when you get into Swansea, follow the road left at the IGA, continue for a short while and turn up Shaw St. on the right. This is not to be confused with Swansea Holiday Park (Shouten Beach) which does not support tents.
There is only room for a few tents here so it is imperative to book ahead, or else you will be wild camping!
(Or, if you are super-fit like the British Garden Gnome cyclist, you can go on to Bicheno!)
The Town - Swansea
It is a small town with a good sized IGA, some places to eat and some very nice beaches. A nice place to stop.
The Characters
The "Garden Gnome" cyclist turned up here again. Only this time he could not get a place to camp as he arrived after me. So off he went to Bicheno, only another 27 miles!
