Trees along the Way.

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!

Trees

Recent photos on our drive we came across these lovely trees with a lot of moss growing on them.  So I clicked away with my phone as I didn't take the digital camera. 

A wet area but this last month February was a dry one.

Odds and Ends

A few odds and ends of our holiday away in February and March this year, 2022 in Tasmania on the North West Coast at Devonport and Ulverstone.

This is a pathway all along what is called 'The Bluff', it goes for a long way, bikeriders use it as in families, walkers and dog lovers with their dogs always on a leash. 

At Picnic Point, the above steps to one of the beaches, and part of the caravan park.  You see the post on the left, that is where you get your electricity and the tap is what you put your water hose to the caravan and each site has these.

Came across these flowers which were on a very big tree, there were several of them down by the sea.  Have no idea what the tree/s are called they did look lovely.

Driving along

Springtime is a pretty time of the year when all the new leaves arrive on the trees and new flowers are abundant at home and along the roads when travelling.  Such was the case in 2014 travelling to Devonport, Tasmania.  (North West Cost)

These photo were taken well after Deloraine and near Elizabeth Town, Tasmania.

Lookouts, Queenstown

Onwards to Mount Huxley and Jukes Lookout along Jukes Road Queenstown.

The scenery along the way, some taken with the phone others with my Canon EOD750D.

When I lived at Queenstown there was a short road called Jukes Road. 

We saw this road that led to the power station and we continued on having no idea where it would take us.  What lovely views we were seeing along the way.  It was rather a windy day, no phone access,  no other cars, just no one, no shops, just my husband and I travelling along this fairly good sealed road to goodness knows to where.  

Have no idea what the stream or river is called as it's not on a map, however it's close to the power station.

Of course we ended up in the middle of nowhere.  Looking at the map of Tasmania one would think it would be filled with people but it's certainly not.

 

 

Mount Huxley 925m  in the distance.

 

Tynwald Park, New Norfolk.

More of Tynwald Park in New Norfolk as you turn around from the river this is what you see plus us leaving in the vehicle.

 

 

 

Leaving Salmon Pond

After a lovely day spent at Salmon Ponds we headed back to New Norkfolk, the view on the way.

Salmon Pond 4

More of the grounds and a big fish, heaps of them in these ponds.
