We set off for a drive last weekend not sure which direction we should go, but our noses led the way inland see map below of the route we took. These photos I took along the way. The bottom photo should be at the top, the top photo at the bottom 😉
The 'man fern' below is commonly referred to as Dicksonia antartica, the soft tree fern an iconic, ancient species native to the cool, damp rainforests and wet eucalypt forests of eastern Australia and Tasmania.
Right side of the map is from Launceston and back to Launceston, Home!












Australia seems to have massive open space. All the way no housing?
ReplyDeleteIt's always so good to admire and capture nature through photos.
ReplyDeleteHow magnificent are the soft tree ferns.
I really like the smell of eucalyptus.
Beautiful photos!
Such wild beauty. I truly felt as though I was watching a documentary. It must have been a fantastic experience to move through such a landscape. I don't know about you, but when I'm surrounded by nature on this scale, I feel small and perhaps that's something we as humans need to feel from time to time. Beautiful photographs. Thank you for taking us along with you on the journey.
ReplyDeleteOh look at those lovely mailboxes? I enjoyed seeing them, and all your tree photos. Love trees, and ferns that matter. Thanks Margaret! Great map too :)
ReplyDeleteThat fern is beautiful, and those trees are so beautiful! Beautiful Australia!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful looking ferns and always nice to see trees.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the mail-boxes.
Many thanks for including the map.
A lovely post.
All the best Jan
Bello paisaje. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteThe tree ferns are very beautiful, Margaret. I wish they could grow here. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteA nice drive with fine weather. While I've not bushwalked in your state, I think your tree ferns might be more spectacular than our own.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous captures, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteLOVE "Mail Box Row" and those ferns too, I had some in the front yard of the first house we built, after we sold, the new owner ripped out the entire yard.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very pleasant drive!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful natural environment. Easy to see you had a great time while you were driving there.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ride you had, the nature there is stunning.
I wish you a lovely weekend.
All the best, Irma
