Headed to Preston Falls

Whilst on our holiday in Devonport we went to Preston Falls inland, the water was only a trickle so we didn't venture right into the falls even though it was a short walk.  The sign at Ulverstone tells how far it is.
The second last photo is a little blurry as it was very dark looking into the bush there and I forgot to change the settings on my camera.
The last photo is part of a 'manfern' which grows in that area as well as many other areas.

    So many signs indicating directions in the first photo! Preston Falls sign, however, is the only one on its side.

      That's true, maybe who ever designed the sign was perhaps told to only advertise Preston Falls..

    Hello Margaret,
    As always, thank you for beautiful and kind words, you also appreciate the beauty of nature and enjoy being and relaxing in beautiful places. I always like those wonderfully vast and great panoramas and spaces with you. Lots of nature, forest and nature = this is where we rest the best.
    Have a great week :)

    I love the shot of the forest - and photographed very similar ferns when I was at our Botanical Gardens recently.

      Thanks EC. Probably the same ferns if the truth is known. The lady next door is growing them...

    I didn't know those ferns had a name. They are lovely.

      Yes Andrew, everything has a name. Infact 2 or 3 names sometimes.

      Thanks Irma, looking over the top of the fern is not always possible as they can grow rather tall.

    I was wrestling with a couple of our big ferns yesterday. Some alien looking invasive plant had gotten into them and they weren't happy. Neither was I after pulling the invader out--- very carefully. Your posts are always transportive. Thanks.

      Indeed they are transportive Bill. That must have been a bit difficult taking out a weed or similar that was intertwined with the fern and not trying to spoil the fern.

      Yes, it's a shaded area up in the hills with plenty of rainfall in that area.

      Thanks Denise. Lovely walk down hill to the bottom of the falls, it's a walk up that's a bit steep for me :)
