Lake Pedder is beautiful. It would have been more beautiful in 1970, but now you can drive there. Make a glorious day trip from Fay's place to Lake Pedder via Russel Falls. I swear it is worth it! If you are really early you might be able to visit Scotts Peak Dam as well. The start of the South West Track. Iconic Tasmania.

Port Arthur, Eaglehawk Neck, has it all.
Leave early. Coffee on the way at Sorell Uncle Alby's and grab an egg roll. Yum! breakfast sorted!
Cubed Espresso for the very best coffee and views at Eaglehawk Neck. If ok for coffee just do Pirates Bay Drive for the views.
