Heritage Trail & Derwent Bridge

The next lookout was Donaghy's Lookout which gave superb views of the surrounding mountain ranges.

We stopped at The Frenchman's Cap Trail but the suspension bridge is currently being repaired so it's closed 😥 looks like that one is for next time!

Next stop was the Heritage Trail, this is another short but beautiful walk. Takes you through rainforest covered in moss down and along the Franklin River.

We then headed on to Derwent River. I was so happy to start seeing snow along the road, so Bart found somewhere to pull over on the side of the road in the snow so we could make lunch.

On the way we checked out the free camp sites which were quite interesting, one looked like a stump graveyard! (normally it would be underwater, right on the edge of the lake) Next stop we headed to Lake St Claire.

After calling into the visitor centre at Lake St Claire we found out that the Derwent Bridge Wilderness Hotel allowed you to camp for free in their carpark. So that's where we ended up for the night 🤗

Bonus they had internet signal so I was able to get wages done for this week!

Heading out tomorrow for a half day walk at Lake St Claire.Okumaya devam et
