Hello!
I am so tired! 6am is NOT my optimal starting time!!
I won’t be doing justice to todays adventure, so I am mostly going to throw a few photos at you from todays hike that I managed to get post processed.
Our cousins invited us to go with them to Cradle Mt today to see the Fagus – Tasmania’s only native deciduous tree, Deciduous Beech (Nothofagus gunnii
Its autumn colours are almost in full swing and its really lovely to see.
We walked the Hounslow Heath Track which was really beautiful
The track was a quagmire – roots, rocks and mud puddles!! So much fun!
You spend the first hour trying to keep your feet dry. Then when the battle is totally lost, you feel liberated and slosh through any and all puddles, mud, streams & creeks without a care in the world. (And snug in the knowledge the car has been packed with clean clothes & a towel)(See? We are learning!)
This Currawong stalked us for a while – thought it could get some food! Such cool and clever birds! (And a little freaky looking haha)
We did a lot of puddle jumping today – yep, thats the track!
So many beautiful pandani everywhere
Time for me to get some sleep!
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers
Lisa …. That is a very hood picture of you and Jeff!! Thats a keeper! You should frame a copy of it!! That Cradle Mt. is sure a beautiful area!!
Thanks Pat! Its a very appropriate image to show what we have been up to lately! If I get around to printing it, it will probably just end up on the fridge under a magnet!! 🙂
We really enjoy Cradle Mt (can you tell?? haha) Just discovered some inexpensive cabins you can hire to stay up there in the National Park itself! Would be a great place to take visitors who want to do more than a single days walk!
