Walker Registration and Logbooks
Walker registration huts and logbooks were new to me. I had heard recommendations about walkers registering their intentions. It makes sense in Australia. Unlike so many tourist destinations, it is possible to get into serious trouble in the Australian wilderness.
Wet and Windy Dove Lake
We had a fantastically wet and windy time in Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain National Park. It did not stop raining for our entire stay. Our reward for putting up with the rain were fun rivulets cascading down the mountain sides and powerful waterfalls.
Salmon Farming in Tasmania
As part of thecruise to see the Gordon River, we passed a commercial salmon farm. There are a few salmon farms in this region of Tasmania.
A Cruise Along Gordon River
During the half day cruise we saw Hells Gates, a commercial salmon farm, had a guided tour of Sarah Island, and travelled up a short stretch of the Gorden River.
Queenstown - A Tasmanian Mining Town
Nothing really prepared us for Queenstown. An hour earlier, we were walking along lush green tracks to waterfalls, then quite suddenly we crested a hill.
Nelson Falls Track
Nelson Falls is a waterfall in Tasmania. This beautiful waterfall is in a National Park, a short walk from the Lyell Highway (A10) between Queenstown and Derwent Bridge.
Tungatinah Hydroelectric Power Station
On our way from Hobart to Strahan, we stopped for lunch at a small park. The park was nestled within a forested valley and opposite one of Tasmania’s hydroelectric power stations.
Reflections on Gordon River
Gordon River is part of a World Heritage site in Tasmania. The river is enclosed in thick forest and a beautiful location a short boat ride from Strahan.
Photogenic Melbourne
Melbourne is frequently used for filming. On the weekend we moved here, a feature film had half of Flinders Street covered in a 1940s era facade and the other half in black cloth to hide modern lighting and fittings.
Hobart, Tasmania
A recent wander around Tasmania started and ended in the capital city, Hobart. We spent a day walking around the city visiting various shops, sites, and attractions.
