Day 23

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Judy's Trekabout

Monday 23rd

Went for a drive to Beaconsfield today, Sean had the day off so showed us around. Lovely drive up the west side of the Tamar River. Took us to his work to pick up Katie.

Entrance of the Winch house Looking at the side of the building. Mine shaft and lift to take the men under ground. Bad lighting but the water turns this wheel. These white lines indicate the tunnels under ground, the deepest tunnel is 1.5 km down if I remember that correctly. As the men have left the changing room Locker room Shower room Looking over the road to the Beaconsfield Mine works Miners cottage Lookout at the Tamar River, storm is brewing. Stillwater and gallery Father & Son outside Stillwater. Father & Son again. Cataract Gorge ferry run, love the Kings bridge. Ferry returning. Waited in the cold to get this. 🙂 Stillwater from front entrance.

Day 18

18th Wednesday

Went to Cataract Gorge to the chair lift and Basin. Very nice, weather actually improved as the day went on and we did the chair ride, did the Alexandra Lookout and swing bridge. Very lovely. Took all day. After tea we went to Evandale for the Aurora and star trails as we had an alert saying that it was favorable. Was a very good night.
