Renmark Sunset, South Australia.

Renmark South Australia is 1,220 km from home here in Launceston and of course taking the Ferry across the sea is necessary if you take your car or car and caravan as we did some years ago.  There are many places to stay, Hotel, Motel or a Caravan Park where we stayed, with the River Murray at our door.  

These photos were taken of the River Murray on one of our visits there looking towards one of the Hotels.  There are about 4,700 residents in the town and 10,274 people in the wider population. The photos are in order as taken. 

There are paddle steamers on the River Murray so a nice cruise can be taken.

Also grown in the area are citrus fruit, wine grapes, almonds, figs, cumquats, olives, persimmons, avocados, walnuts, pistachios and bush produce. 

Winter has finally arrived here in Launceston, Tasmania.

Mossman Gorge, Queensland

Mossman Gorge in Far North Queensland is a place we have visited and I've walked along it for a short way a few years ago.  4,500 km from home here in Launceston, so it takes a long time to drive there.  The Gorge is a gateway to the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest in Tropical Queensland. The water is clear and cascades over ancient granite boulders, lush walking paths, and has deep Indigenous cultural significance.

As you can see below there is a swinging bridge, but I didn't go over that.  I've placed a link to the cultural center and there are more photo and information there about the Gorge if you wish to visit the center from this blog.
