Still along the Mount Jukes Road when we came across a lookout - wow, was an amazing view in reality. The camera can never catch what the eye itself sees but it doesn't do a bad job.
Back in March 2020, still didn't know much about Covid, we hadn't heard much other than it was about but not in Tasmania at that time.
Lake Burbury in the distance, I zoomed in a fair bit and that white on those peaks is not snow, it's just the colour on top of the mountains.
Water level in the lake is obviously a bit low as you can see from the photos below.
The change room for swimming in Lake Burbury and the Loos. There was a small carpark there.
Someone must go for swimming and a picnic from Queenstown.
There wild flowers are not so clear as it was extremely windy when I was trying to take them, they make a noise like paper.
The red marker is where we were.
The views are breathtaking. I love your third photo, it's stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it is a beautiful view.
DeleteYellow flowers always fill me with optimism.That's good, considering the gloomy reality caused by the corona virus. We need things to make us see a bright side.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do Duta.
DeleteYellow for the sun, brightens always makes us feel good.
Spectacular and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the paper daisies too. Years back we came across quite a stretch of them beside the highway (in lots of colours too) and it brightened our day. Sadly we haven't seen them there since.
It's not often you see a lot of colour from the road but when you do it is good. Hopefully you will see some eventually.
DeleteGorgeous landscapes!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is and for me too.
DeleteSon ideales las imágenes de los paisajes, captadas desde el <mirador.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Yes, and nice views.
DeleteI know those flowers as everlasting daisies - you have now reminded me to buy some seeds to grow them. They are lovely to have around during the winter months when fresh flowers are more scarce.
ReplyDeleteThey make a lovely show those daisies and I wonder how often the can be found in that area.
DeleteThanks for another look at beautiful, gorgeous Tasmania!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome...as you can see you both only scratched the surface of Tasmania on your visit but then we all do that when visiting other areas.
DeleteIt's a very good explanation board.
ReplyDeleteI found is interesting, was a too windy to stay and read it so hence the photo of the information.
DeleteInteresting how we can see Frenchmans Cap on the way into Queenstown and then from another angle at Judes Road.
Stunning photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteI consider myself very fortunate that I am able to go along on these wonderful trips...free of charge! Thanks, Margaret. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Lee....yes, it good isn't - all free to travel from home :)
DeleteBeautiful scenery and love the paper daisies too.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely those yellow paper daisies..
DeleteBeautiful landscapes of mountains, sky, clouds, water and land. So pleasing to the eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the scene in the 3rd photo, it was just breath taking because I didn't expect to see it.
DeleteI love those mountains!!
ReplyDeleteThought you would :)

Hi Margaret, that header shot is incredible! Such incredible scenery over there. Those yellow wildflowers are incredibly pretty and I know I have mentioned this before, but I enjoy your maps too. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks re header.

Thinking yellow often brightens up ones day, it reminds me of the sun :)
DeleteMount Juke is Glorious place to visit dear Margaret
ReplyDeletei agree and i often feel bad about it that camera 's eye cannot convey the essence of what a human eye can see :)
