Tasmania Part 2

The send installment of Tasmania photos begins with a last photo of our nice farm stay tower room at night. Leaving the Hobbart area we went north west to Mt. Field National Park, famous for beautiful waterfalls. On the walk to the falls we ran into this cute wallaby and told everyone about. The people we told gave us a funny look, which we later learned was because wallabies are very common in Tasmania and it's like telling someone in CA that you just saw a squirrel. On the way out of the park we saw this echidna
walking and sniffing for food. Echidna's are very interesting animals that have a very good sense of smell. That evening we made it to Lake St. Clair. This lake is the start or end, of the most famous hike over Cradle Mountain, the most famous mountain in Tasmania. We went looking for the elusive platypus, but came out empty handed, KT did get to reflect a bit though. We did see a rather brazen possum at our camp site before taking a photo of the moon over the lake and mountains. In the morning when we got up it was very cold and there was a beautiful fog over the lake encouraging us to get on our way to a warmer climate for breaky. We stopped to take photos of more waterfalls, after which our camera died on us. We have some film that we need to finish before we can get the next days photos developed. The last two photos are from our new digital camera. Can anyone guess what the second to last photo is of? We will reveal the answer in the last part of the Tasmania photo series. The last photo for today is of the southern cross constellation just above the cloud, taken on the north coast of Tasmania, the Bass Straits. Until next time folks, keep it real.
