Another rest day. Walked across the dam and back, lovely. Long weekend here for a 8 hour working day holiday. Went and investigated across the other side of dam, Dee Lagoon, up through pine forest, felt like home. Lots of fishing shacks. Even though there is fish in the lake there are no water birds, feels very odd. All of a sudden the wasps vanished and they have eaten all the sap off the canvas. 🙂

Wednesday 8th June
Had a great day. Had a good breakfast and then headed off on a hike to Indarri Falls, 3 hours round trip up over the plateau and down the cliff face, dam steep. The colours out here are just so vivid. The falls are beautiful. The terrain is very undulating, rocky and colourful. Alice and Jack went up to the falls in their kayak, went to the second level, we saw them at the falls. Got back at 12.30 pm. Had to cool down, then went for a cold shower. Had lunch and just sat around for awhile, it was 35 deg today again. Flies are bad. Wearing the fly net most days. Don and Jack went walking up over the Constance Range, Don said it’s beautiful but extremely tough. I’m not doing it. Couldn’t get on the boat trip today but have booked for tomorrow 10 am. Looking forward to that. Not cold at nights. Lovely and fresh.
Beautiful cliffs where we’re camping. These colours are as they are.
Path on our 3 hour walk to Indarri falls, then to the lookout and back down to camp.
This is the Lawn creek, magic colours. There are fresh water crocodiles but we didn’t see one.
The Indarri Falls, so lovely.
Love these reflections.
Indarri falls,
Going up the escarpment, reds and green, we are so lucky this national park was closed to flooding two weeks prior to us coming.
View from climbing up higher, the falls being just to the left of the middle of photo.
On our way up to the lookout, this a great view but facing the sun.
The workers and rangers accommodation.
Bigger view of the whole camping.
Sun going down and I’m down by the jetty.
Another angle. magic reflections.
Heading back to camp, got a sun burst through the trees.
Young crimson finch.
Very bright but still beautiful.

Liked these, don’t know there name, reminded me of the Lupines in NZ up Mt Cook.

Bridge over the Derwent River in Hobart.

Mt Wellington.
Out of the traffic, now for some scenery.
This is where we had morning tea at Franklin on the edge of the Huon River.
A lot of old buildings are being used today for shops, galleries, etc, I loved the wheel in this photo.
Huon River.
As soon as I got over to the picnic table these ducks all came running, so funny.
Heading towards Geeveston
Free range chooks.
Nice entry to the town of Geeveston.
Had lunch at Dover.
Driving around to Southport, the end of the tar sealed road south.
Little beach holiday places right on the water.
End of the line. 
On our way back caught some good lighting on these yachts.
Another quick shot of the bridge at Hobart on our way home.Sunday 7th June,
Bit windy and overcast but we are heading to see the Tessellated Pavements, Devils Kitchen, Tasman Arch and the Blowhole, and on our way home dropped into the Chocolate factory and into Fortescue Bay and saw the camping area. We got away at 9.15 am and didn’t get back until 4pm, very tired. Great day. Weather was kind and it didn’t rain. Cooked tea up in the kitchen, quiet neat catching up with others that you chattered to the day before. Really blowing and raining now.
These Green Rosella’s were everywhere and certainly use to people at the Big 4. They would come so close you could hardly take their photo. The owners were saying the birds are all so hungry.
View from the edge of the Tessellated Pavements.
The doorways are so small in all the old buildings, we were told that the average height of the people back in the last century was 5′ 6″. Hence Don is taller than that.
The ceiling and how they were made, they are restoring them bit by bit.
This is one of the dogs of the dog line, they had 18 of these ugly ( only a mother could love ) things to get past if the convicts tried to escape.
Very rugged along the Tasman Coast.
Blow hole not doing much blowing today.
There she blows, I have been here for quiet some time and I think this is my lot. The turbulence of the water is fascinating. 
This is the opening out to see from the blowhole.
This opening is where the arch broke away, amazing rocks and formations here,
Down at the Jetty.
This vehicle was in the car park, loved the sign.
This Devils Kitchen is so huge and deep cant get any angle to show the size, plus you cant get past the barriers and foliage when you are to short. This very aptly named feature gets it’s name from the cauldron of foaming fury, normally seen at water level from the viewing platform several hundred feet above.
So big.
I just loved this wee house, it even had lace curtains. This is at Doo-Town, most of the house’s in Doo-Town have some sort of Doo in a name of their house, just to many photo’s of the house’s to post. Doo-Town cant grow any bigger because of Deer farming and National parks that surround it.
Chocolate Factory on our way back and saw this statue. And yes I bought some fudge, real nice.
Sunday 10th May
Hope all the mothers out there took some time out for themselves.I did, Went down to Seaport in Launceston and walked from there and around to Cataract Gorge taking some photo’s, was a beautiful day and back again.
Seaport Walkway/Jetty
kids in their minnow yachts, or it maybe the next size up (cant remember the name of the next sized one), practicing.
Cruise boat passing and then he goes up the gorge and back.
Big building on the left is called Stillwater Restaurant, this is where Don’s son works as a chef, it also has a art gallery for the local artists. Cataract Gorge runs up on the right hand side, there are two bridges but the one behind is out of view in this shot.
There are the two bridges, and the Cataract gorge with the boat returning.
Wednesday 6th May
Well we went for a drive, the storm has passed , we still have rain and the annex cant go anywhere now. Went to Stanley to see a photo our friend has put into the Cow & Calf Gallery, photography fine art, really lovely art. Got to meet David the owner and Photographer. Next door is the Brown Dog cafe, where we went to have some morning tea, lovely old and unique place. Just loved both their names and there is a story behind the Brown dog but didn’t find out if there was a story behind the gallery name.
We did the walk along the historical area of old buildings in between sheltering in peoples veranda’s, loved this sigh as well, I have removed his phone number.
View from Bobs place, looking out over the bay of Stanley.
Under the Nut at Stanley.
Old railway station down by the jetty. I think this top part of the light house has been moved from somewhere else.
Road heading to Railway station and the big crayfish, great fish and chips we bought from there, so fresh.
Prices from old. Pound, Shillings and pence.
Inside waiting for a train, joking, it is now a cafe.
Church Stanley
Chair lifts up to the Nut, closed today, winds were very bad.
Another view of The Nut.
We were at Port Latta, all these gulls were going crazy, then they would all land on the water then take to the air again, but the winds were really blowing them around. Funny to watch.
Crayfish Creek on our way back to Rocky Cape.
We love this sigh, hell yer great. Haha.
Crayfish creek heading out to sea.

The Samarai re-union is all over, went down to the wharf and saw the last of them off. Did a bit of a tiki tour of the Nelly bay where the ferry comes in, very nice. Spent the rest of the day around the A-Frame unit that we have rented for 2 weeks, here’s a few photos of the day.

Curlews at the unit, so well camouflaged
