Spending winter while house sitting.
Heading north up the island, went via the Great Lakes to Deloraine, You can see some of the devastation from the fires early this year.

Went for a drive to Franklin and had a lovely day. This wee rabbit popped up this morning.
Huon River
Had a lovely drive to Dover, went the long way around the bays and back the main road. Bitterly cold winds off the Atlantic ocean and mountains. Saw the Huon Salmon farm and restaurant. Many bays and Adamsons Peak had snow so that was a bonus, Here’s some of the shots for the day.
Police Point Huon Salmon Farming.
Another great day, too good to waste so off for a drive to Cygnet and all the coast road, so lovely when you get off the main drives. here’s a few shots for the day. This peninsula is on the east side of the Huon River, we are staying on the west side of Huon. It was awesome looking across the river at where we’d come from.

Lots has happened since last posting and not too many photos, but these images are of the lovely foliage in a cold climate, green grass, lots of water and colour, this is all in the yard where I’m staying, so very different from Qld.

We are in our third house sit and decided to look around the area. Ended up checking Nobby Hill which we can see from the kitchen window, lovely views, from here we could see snow on Mt Hartz, so off we went. Well it didn’t disappoint. Port Huon top image.

Woke to the car white with frost, we are wanting to go for the forest walk so will catch the bus and walk from there. Went to Ronny creek and the weather has turned real bad so caught the bus back to info center, back to the cabin and had lunch. We then went back again and did the Pencil Pine Falls walk and then headed to the Kynvet Falls. Was getting colder and wetter so headed back to bus stop again, clouds are so low now cant see much at all. Called into the Waldheim Chalet, there is a lot of history to this place and the couple who had the vision,.
Cradle mountain is up under that cloud.Dove Lake in the fore ground.

Had a real quiet day yesterday, but left early this morning and headed to Cradle Mountain, staying in a cabin for 3 nights. The drive is beautiful and the weather is looking good, clear skies and snow on the tops that we could see. Got set up in the cabin then took off up to Dove Lake and we were lucky there is a bit of snow on Cradle.
