PRESERVING THE POINT – Lake St Clair

Is there a better destination anywhere in the world? We’ll be staying at Pumphouse Point. Yes, in that little building at the end of the causeway.

TASMANIAN AIR ADVENTURES

Landing strip below! Is there a better destination anywhere in the world? We’ll be staying at Pumphouse Point. Yes, in that little building at the end of the causeway.

It was our first trip by seaplane. We hope it won’t be our last.

We were very lucky indeed to be invited to fly up to lovely Lake St Clair in Tasmania’s famous world heritage national park. While there we’ll be staying in the newly-opened Pumphouse Point wilderness retreat.

But getting there was half the fun.
