Iron Blow Lookout at Gormanston, Tasmania.
Gormanston is about 4 km from Queenstown with approximately 99 bends in the road and was once a thriving town, these days not many people live there.
'Iron Blow was the site of the earliest major mining venture at Mount Lyell on the west coast of Tasmania in 1883.
The first shot on the site was in January 1884 and most local prospectors were camped in the Linda Valley to the east of Mount Owen. Following the establishment of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company in 1893, the Iron Blow orebody was mined until 1929'.

Mount Owen to the right and great to see trees growing on the hills. I can remember seeing only a few trees when a teenager.
