Mt. Roland, Tasmania

For a day drive we continued past Sheffield where all the Murals are onto Gowrie Park passing Mt. Roland which is mere 1234 meters high. 4048ft. We travelled 3/4 of the way around the mountain up to a lookout, and wouldn't you know it, trees in the way of the view.  I'm not condemning trees at all, but why did we travel around a windy road for several km to find the view when you can't really see it, guess we went to see what was there :). 

Gowrie Park has a caravan park a creek and a handful of people.  A peaceful place.

This building is at the side of ONeills Creek which is a lovely reserve and also a place to park the caravan if one wants to 'free park' for the night,.

Family Picnic.

There was a wonderful family picnic recently at Gowrie Park in North Western Tasmania.  A pretty Tasmanian bush setting with a little creek at the side of the park, mountains above.
The picnic was organized so we could all meet each other for those of us who had never met.  People came from each State of Australia, so there were many of us.  These are the people on my husbands mother's side of the family.  I had a wonderful day, we all did.

Just a few 'cousins' the remainder are to the left.

There are 3 mountains in the area, this is part of one.

The tables and seats provided plus provisions for a fire.
