Thought I show you a couple of mountains. The first being Mt. Roland which is 1,234 meters high 4048ft so it's not a high one. Mt. Roland can be seen from afar along the north west coast of Tasmania, the mountain is inland. A Doctor from Adelaide in South Australia killed his wife up there some years ago.
I remember going to Cradle Mountain when about 14 years of age certainly nothing like it is today the road to it. We didn't have to pay back then to take the shuttle bus to the parking area as there was no such thing. Just drove to a parking area some distance from the lake then walked, there were no paths, just a track but what fun it was.
The Nut at Stanley is 143 meters high one can get a chair lift of walk up the steep hill - once we used to walk up the steep hill as there was no chair lift.
Beautiful photos. The second image is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely up there and in winter there is often snow on the caps.
DeleteBeautiful captures (and memories) from a beautiful island. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteThey beg to be climbed, don’t they? All so different and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do and they are climbed. There is an overland track in the second photo, takes a few days.
DeleteThank goodness for The Nut chairlift.
ReplyDeleteYou are not wrong on that. Chairlift for me now.
DeleteI love mountains though we don't have them here in Finland. But we have thousands lakes.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so nice.
Thanks.
DeleteCan't imagine not having any mountains :) suppose it's what you get used to.
Nice photos, sorry the rest of my comment wentpuff out of my brain
ReplyDeleteThat's ok Jo-Anne it happends.
DeleteMore beautiful views of a beautiful state. And the climate is bearable too.
ReplyDeleteClimate is ok at the moment - winter this years was all right being the first winter we have spent at home in years.
DeleteLovely photos of your very scenic Tassie. I have a cousin in Wynyard who has a conservation block on Cradle Mountain and it would be great to visit there one day. Stay safe and well and have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh really, that's is wonderful.
DeleteStill can't comment on your blog Rosie - I do comment but it doesn't show to you it seems either.

DeleteBeautiful images-- and I learned something new!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteGlad you learned something new :)
Beautiful mountain views. Love the open country.
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenery of the mountains..I have to agree.
DeleteAlways great to see open spaces.
Where I live there are no mountains... so I always get excited when I see them. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you didn't have any mountains where you live, that's interesting and can understand about seeing mountains because in the past when we travelled other areas of Australia there were no mountains in some areas.
DeleteMe ha encantado verlas Margaret. Muchos besos.
ReplyDeleteThat's good and thank you.
DeleteAs imagens são belíssimas.
ReplyDeleteParabéns.
Beijos, muitos.
Thank you.
DeleteEl paisaje de la segunda fotografía es maravilloso. Debió de ser un gran placer verlo de cerca.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Oh yes, it is good to see that particular mountain, 2nd photo and it's pretty up there too.
DeleteOh dear - tiffs on the ridge!
ReplyDeleteColin
A murder on the ridge, but why on earth would that Dr. come from SA and murder his wife here - beats me.
DeleteMaybe the scenery?????????????
DeleteAgatha Christie may have written a great novel on this scenario.
Not quite "Murder on the Orient Express" scale ( the original film version)
but something like "Murder Most Foul with a View" ????
Colin
That second photograph is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thanks Jan, worth a visit that mountain.
DeleteBeautiful countryside. We do live in a most beautiful country...a land of contrasts.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do Lee, our country is so different from north to south, east to west.
DeleteBeautiful mountain views, Margaret , but having to walk the steep path would not be something I would enjoy so drat to no chairlift.
ReplyDeleteExactly, the chair lift for me these days too.
DeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a living painting of the beauty of the view of Cradle Mountain from the shore of Lake Dove ..., very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI imagined being there.
Regards.
Thanks.
DeleteIt's a good place Cradle Mountain.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteGreat view and good countryside.
ReplyDeleteglorious views of beautiful mountains dear friend !
ReplyDeletei am in deep love with nature and such sights serene my soul :)
the lake is gorgeous and you captured it so nicely indeed
felt sad about the murder though
stay safe and happy dear Margaret :)
What a beautiful to hike, I love spend my hollydays in the mountains (usualy the Alps in Austria or Switserland). As I live in Belgium, we only have hills in the south, the north is completely platland. Great blog you have, it would be nice to follow it. Kind regards, Rudi (Belgium)
ReplyDeletewonderful !
