Mt. Roland, Tasmania. Australia.

Mt. Roland towers above the rural town of Sheffield in North Western Tasmania, Australia. Rarely have I seen snow on Rowland seeing as I don't live anywhere near it. The Mountain is a mere 1,234 meters high (4048ft). There are many bush walking tracks which lead to many places plus Mt. Roland can be seen from many roads.

We left home at midday and arrived home just before 6pm on Friday.


The bottom photo of Mt. Roland was taken a few years ago from another area on the way to the town of Wilmot.


Below is the Lawn Cemetery at Devonport where my parents are buried.  The white dot are flowers on their head plaque. We went to both areas on Friday just past.

  2. Parece que no hay cuestas por los senderos y eso facilita mucho el caminar. la montaña, se divisa muy bien desde abajo y te has evitado el esfuerzo de subirla.

    1. It is lovely and a wonderful drive on different roads and you can even go to the bottom of the mountain and have a picnic which we have done.

    1. It is beautiful there at that cemetery, there is also a 'wall' for urns and so on which is also lovely. The grounds are well kept also.

  8. What a stunning mountain, and the lawn cemetery looks just as you hope it would. I remember the stunning scenery we saw when driving from Stanley to Queenstown. We had limited time and so could not stop too often.

    1. It is a beautiful mountain back and above the town of Sheffield. The cemetery is always looking good, never seen it untidy.
      There is some lovely scenery over here Andrew and it's a shame you didn't have more time to take more views in - but that's life.

    1. It is a great mountain in that area of Shefflied. A murder happened up there several years ago, a man pushed his wife over a cliff whilst they were hiking up there somewhere. Found a link about the Inquest.
