Name: BIG4 Strahan Holiday Retreat
Rating: 7.8

In the western wilderness of Tasmania in Australia, there is a remote historic mining town which is rather beautiful and peaceful, named Corinna. It is the gateway to the Tarkine - second largest temperate rainforest in the world. I went there in a winter break, and pitched my tent (was the only tent there) just in front of this river - Pieman River (quite like the name). Almost after the gold sunset, fog started rising from the surface of Pieman River. Then, the whole tone went so #Blue! Everything was just right!

However, the second day, when I rented a kayak to explore surroundings by river, a tourism board caught my attention. It WAS nothing rather than description of this place, BUT this river turns out to be named after a convict who bacause of his repeated CANNIBALISM!!!! In the year of 1822, the convict Alexander Oearce finally recaptured, after few escapes, with bits of Thomas Cox's (another convict he escaped with) hands and fingers in his pockets. Even though I was horrified by this plausible true story, I finished reading the story with disgust for Pieman River.

Since I have already paied for the rental of a kayak, I figured that I have to go into the Pieman River with a sense of disgust. Fortunitely, the scenery was simply so great that I left behind that horribly inhuman story.

Zeehan Bush Camp

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! What an amazing stat we had! Communication was excellent, facilities were outstanding. So much attention to detail and everything you could possibly need was available! So much so that we opted to stay longer! Comfy beds, charging ports, heaters and electric blankets... Our hosts were so helpful with local information and their suggestions were perfect for us as a family. The shower was also to die for! Best place we stayed on our trip around Tassie and will definitely stay again! "
