Hopped across to Bruny Is for a few days.

Visited the Lighthouse and Kingfisher Beach today.

The views from the light house of the rugged coastline are fantastic. A bit of a hike up, but worth it.

The beaches on Bruny are pristine. We had Kingfisher to ourselves...except for hundreds of tiny crabs. Had to be careful where we walked. Set up our picnic lunch on the beach. A very special place to have our lunch.Weiterlesen

Our last walk at Mt Feild NP. Has been a fantastic visit. There are so many great walks. If you are into a bit more serious hikin, plenty of those as well.

We ended up staying one extra night. As it was raining the day we were going to leave. Drove into New Norfolk to shop. Was easier than doing it with the van in tow.Weiterlesen

This is a great drive from Mt Feild. The veiws along the way are worth the drive on their own. Graham strutted his stuff on an interesting statue on the roadside.

We were amazed by Gordon Dam. Like nothing we had ever seen before. It's a bit of a mixed feeling thing. Between the awe of the structure and how it felt wrong to build it in such a magnificent wild environment.Weiterlesen

Still in Mt Feild NP. Drove up to Lake Dobson. A very narrow, windy gravel road. Climbing up for about 16ks
up into the Alpine region. Was a little bit nippy. But we soon warmed up, walking around the lake. Magnificent. There are ski runs up here. Would be lovely to see when it's snowing. Unfortunately, we don't have the gear.

It's much nicer here than at Cradle Mt. Which is far too crowded these days.Weiterlesen

We love it here. Only $20 per night for full power and water hook up. Not used to having these in a NP. Even a laundry.

Did the Tall Trees walk this morning. Continued on to the top of Walker Falls and then to Horseshoe Fall. A fantastic walk. The forest is amazing, makes for a really enjoyable stroll.

In the afternoon we strolled up to the base of Walker Falls. Another charming walk. As it's wheelchair friendly very easyWeiterlesen

Derwent Bridge
26.–28. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Had a great free camp at the Derwent Bridge Pub.
Not much in Derwent Bridge, but is a great base to visit the area.

We went to The Wall in the morning. There are no photos. Cameras and post are not allowed. Which was fantastic. It really allows you to just take it all in. The wall is a series of carved panels. I have no words to describe them. They actually left me quite emotional. I was told,'If you go nowhere else in Tasmania. Go to The Wall' some of the best advice I have ever had.

We then visited Lake St Claire. Finally made it to the end of the Overland Track from Cradle Mountain. Was a big hike😆😆😆. No, really, only did the short walk through the forest then back along the lake shore. We would probably have done one of the bigger walks if we stayed another day. But wanted to move on and try and get into Mount Feild National Park for Easter.

The Gordon Franklin Wild River National Park is also in the area. We went bush bashing along a very rutted track to explore. Come out at an extremely barron area. With a trickle of water and tree stumps. It still had a strange bueaty to it.Weiterlesen

We had a very cold, but lovely day visiting Oatlands.

The historical mill precinct was wonderful. Had been very nicely restored by the distillery that is adjoining the mill.

It was a perfect day to enjoy a delicious Devonshire Tea. The scones were huge. The homemade raspberry jam was perfect. Would be very dangerous if we lived in the area. I could see us dropping offen.Weiterlesen

Just a short drive down the road today to explore Campbell Town.

We meet an echidna crossing the bridge. He was using the raised pedestrian lane. Made it across safely.

There is an interesting convict brick trail along the main street. With information about when and why they we set here.

As well as wonderful carvings near the bridge. As well as may lovely old buildings. The stone they used from around this area is such a lovely colour.Weiterlesen

We are camped at Park in a Paddock a few minutes out of Ross. Ron is an excellent host and loves a chat. Power for $15 per night. Plus, there is a $3 washing machine. As well as the fun of feeding the chooks your food scraps... what more could you want.

Ross is a very picturesque town. There are so many beautiful old buildings. Including the Convict Female Factory. The streets are lined with magnificent old trees. We enjoyed just wandering around. Had a scallop pie for lunch. My daring husband couldn't understand why you would want a pie filled with potato scallops.

We visited Ross on our honeymoon. Graham bought me a lovely hand carved horse from the local Rocking Horse man. He no longer lives here. Has moved to NSW.Weiterlesen

Lots of beautiful stops and short walk on this drive.

Our favourite had to be Trowutta Arch. The walk was enchanting... Graham even described it as the Enchanted Forest. The arch at the end was fabulous.

Our next favourite was Lake Chisholm. Another picturesque walk through the forest. This one Graham named the Emerald Forest. It bought us out at what is one of Australia's finest flooded limestone sink-hole.

Just some of my favourite photos from our forest walks.

The magnificent ferns in a lot of the photos only grow a couple of cm a year. Can live for over a 1000 years. Their origins trace back to the Gondwana period. Image how old some of these beautiful ferns are.Weiterlesen

Visited Dip Falls. Not a lot of water running over at the moment. Apparently, it's spectacular after heavy rain.
Was still a lovely drive. The walk to the fall took us down 208 steps. Then, naturally, 208 back up again. Graham counted them. Was worth the effort.

Found some old machinery left behind from when the area was logged.

Then continued up the road to Big Tree. Another lovely walk.Weiterlesen

I would like to say we walked the path to the top of The Nut... but we thought the chair lift was a much better option.

But we did do the 2k walk around the top. The views were spectacular. We were amazed at all the vegetation. Even trees on the sheltered side. We were pleased that a gentleman advised us to go clockwise around the walk. The other way you were faced with lots of steps going up. Much better coming down them.
Check out Graham's excited face. In the selfie. They had a stand to pop your phone set on time to take your selfie. Such fun.Weiterlesen

The Highveiw estate is magnificent. All the old stone buildings. We didn't do the tour. Just had a stickybeak from the road.

Discovered another great vegie stall. Stocked up again. We are definitely get our vegetables daily quota.

Then, finally out on the board, walk through the Alpine Plains where the Overland walk starts. Not as long as yesterday, but still clocked up almost 4k in 1.5hrs.

We did well doing Dove Lake yesterday as half the track is closed for a few days while they are helicoptering in material to do repairs.Weiterlesen

Did the drive to Devils Gullet today. Spectacular views. Luckily we could drive most of the way. Then, a short hike at the end. The altitude is a struggle for me. Steps I would normally have no real issue with had me huffing and puffing. But was well worth the effort.
We also drove along the Mersey River. Checked out the dams and hydro system. Stopped were they have a white water course for our picnic lunch. Very interesting setup.
Ended up where the keen hikers leave to do Walls of Jerusalem.Weiterlesen
