Mt Field National Park

This morning we headed off from Miena towards Bothwell a very Scottish town with even the street signs being tartan! It has the oldest continuously run golf course there and where Angus beef were originally brought in from Scotland.

We continued on to Hamilton which is a smaller town (I was expecting something bigger) but again very old and quaint, we stopped beside the river to make lunch and decide where to head next! We were planning on staying in Hamilton for the night but we were there so early and there wasn't much to see so we decided to continue on.

Instead of heading to New Norfolk as we originally intended, we decided to detour slightly west up Mt Field instead. Mt Field is one of my favourite places so I was very excited, even though it means Bart will be in the cold for at least another day 😬.

We arrived just after 2 and parked up before doing the Russell and Horseshoe Falls walk and then meandering along the river. Once it was dark, I headed back out with my head torch to Russell Falls to try and see glow worms. Saw lots of animals running away from me, but not too many glow worms, I don't think it was quite dark enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ but what made it all worthwhile was it started to snow lightly as I headed out, it was so beautiful being in the slowly falling flakes and the complete stillness around you. Though I did walk back very quickly after seeing the glowworms 😄Baca lagi
