Tasmania
Posted By: RobG, 08-19-2012, 08:36 PM

This is a series of images from my recent trip to Tasmania, rather than post them individually!

Sunrise in Stanley



Highfield House, the original home of the Van Diemen's Land Company. The original plan was to raise sheep, but the company ended up making a profit from selling land, which is what they still do.


The convict barracks at Highfield.


Raindrops on eucalyptus leaves at Cradle Mountain.


Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake.


Pandani beside Dove Lake - they are not related to Pandanus Palms.


The boardwalk (or in this case a steel mesh walk) protects the forest from erosion by people's feet.



A closer view of Cradle Mountain. You can see how Dove Lake is tea coloured from the tannins our of the heath.


The historic boat shed with Cradle Mountain in the background.


Weindorfer's Forest at Cradle Mountain beside the replica of Waldheim Chalet.


Fungi, lichen and moss in Weindorfer's Forest.


The Aurora Australis in Hobart. This ship supplies Australian research stations in Antarctica.


A boot cleaning device at the entrance of Richmond Gaol.


Richmond Bridge, the oldest functioning bridge in Australia.


The Ballroom Forest beside Dove Lake, taken on my first trip to Tasmania in 1992. Fujichrome 100.
