The mountain below is call Sleeping Beauty often referred to as 'Beauty'. Sleeping Beauty is composed of two mountains Collins Bonnet (1260m) named after the founding Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) who established Hobart (Capital city of Tasmania) in 1804 and Trestle Mountain (1100m). Collins Bonnet Forms her lovely head while Trestle Mountain forms the bosom. Her face and nose pointing upward on the right, moving to the bosom and body laying to the left. I can see this description so hopefully you can too.
We just went for a drive on one of the roads down Huonville way and came across 'Beauty' and a dead end road.
The 2nd photo is of unused huts for the shearers, 3rd photo a horse at the end of the road.
Beautiful landscape. The Beauty is really a beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad at all, didn't even know it was there until we went for a drive in that area.
DeletePaisagem linda, belo cavalo!

It's a different landscape and I don't know how old the horse was certainly not a young one.
DeleteTh landscape is stunning. The Beauty is beautiful to see. Thanks for explaning the layout of the Beauty.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Bill. I was interested to know what that mountain was and didn't realize there were two that formed 'Beauty' so hen.ce I went searching

DeleteTry as I might, Margaret, I could not really see the image, but did appreciate reading your desription and a bit of history. You certainly had some lovely views.
ReplyDeleteOh I can understand you not seeing it.
DeleteThe nose at the top then the next bit the chin, if that helps Beatrice.
You have such beautiful scenery in your country. I love your header. Do they smell as pretty they look?
ReplyDeleteYes Wisteria usually has a scent sometimes strong varies, a musk to sweet scent. Guess it depends on how much wisteria you have in flower.

Thanks Lee. It's rather a nice scene from the dead end road :)
DeleteMagnificent countryside - who could ask for more?
ReplyDeleteThe horse sure looks like it is well looked after.

All that scenery in our back yard so to speak Colin, ever so lucky here in Tasmania, Australia.
DeleteThere was a house near by so expect the horse belonged to people in the house.
The two mountains forming the 'Sleeping Beauty' are clearly seen and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI'm never indifferent to the sight of a horse.I consider it a noble creature.
Horses are indeed noble, myself being associated with horses one way or another at various intervals of my life.
DeleteNice mountain.
Landscapes you shared in your post amazing. Thanks for the information
