Map showing our route
It was dark when we joined the queue to board the boat
...and daylight when we finally got on board
Melbourne receding into the distance
It's dark again when we arrive in Launceston
Not knowing what to expect we had pre-booked a cabin for our first night's stay
We were to see a lot of beautiful country
Guess what this town is called
The first of many waterfalls we would see
Apart from a couple of nights we lived in this tent for a month and were far more comfortable than it may appear
Busy hour on the beach! That lump in the distance is The Nut
We didn't know before hand but there were burn-offs right across the state for much of our stay
Photoe never do justice to the magnificence of caves
We love mountains
... what's not to love?
I don't think this railway is used any longer

This is us going up The Nut, via chairlift
The town of Stanley below us
