This morning enjoy the intriguing history of Strahan with options to suit everyone!  Take a stroll along the foreshore or up the Water Tower Hill for a priceless lookout over Macquarie Harbour and Ocean Beach; walk through a rainforest to Hogarth Falls (if you are quiet and lucky you may even spot a platypus); if you are feeling more adventurous arrange with your guide to canoe in a nearby lake (at no extra cost).  Later, take a walk through the Henty Sand Dunes, where you can even take a quad bike tour (at own expense).  In the afternoon visit the ‘Silver City’ of Zeehan.  In the late afternoon you’ll have the opportunity for a bicycle ride (included) at our overnight lodge accommodation.  (BLD)
