Itinerary
Thursday 20 May
Late afternoon transfer to Bay of Fires Lodge, arriving after dark and in time for a casual supper. Collection points and times:
Friday 21 May
For those interested, there will be a pre-dawn wake-up call to set up and capture sunrise before breakfast. Today will feature a guided walk along the foreshore with several photography stops en route and a picnic lunch at the historic Eddystone Lighthouse.
The evening is spent relaxing at the majestic Bay of Fires Lodge, in twin share or double rooms. Meals are prepared by your guides and accompanied by fine Tasmanian wine and beer. Tonight’s photographic workshop is optional.
Saturday 22 May
Based at the Lodge, the day is yours to decide how you would like to enjoy the area. Rise early and join Grenville for a dawn landscape shoot to experience the many native birds accompanying the dawn. During the day you can choose to kayak down the Anson’s River and experience the riparian ecology of this winding river. Cross the bird rich waters of Anson’s Bay and conclude with a stroll over the dunes of Abbotsbury Peninsula to the lodge.
In the evening join Grenville for a photographic encounter with wombats, wallabies, forester kangaroos, possums or possibly a Tasmanian devil. The night sky is an awesome spectacle from the pristine vantage point of the lodge and its surrounds.
Sunday 23 May
Following an optional sunrise shoot and leisurely breakfast at the lodge, allowing time for a morning swim or walk we depart from the lodge. Walking through eucalypt forests and coastal heath land many native birds can be seen and heard (including the endemic black cockatoo).
Meet the transfer vehicle. Your return trip takes you along the north coast to Bridport and then south through the Tamar wine region and Lilydale. We will aim to be back by 2pm, so that we can drop people directly to Launceston Airport (if required) to depart on the Virgin Blue scheduled flights to Sydney and Melbourne.
