Tasmania....sadly only for a week.

[ofuros]

Just returned from a quick week long trip to Tasmania,
seeing family members, bushwalking, with a little trout fishing thrown in.
Will return again after Christmas, when the weather warms, for a more fish oriented journey.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

The planning stage.


A sign with an Ozzy slant....


Baby wombat nestled safely between her mothers legs. Uh Oh... she knows I'm there.



Brookies only waters. Lk Plimsoll onthe left & Lk Selina on the right, a rugged, wind ravaged wilderness area.


Gingerbread Hut, Mt Rufus. Cute, little emergency shelter.


A favourite stream I can never seem to stay away from, fished her 2years ago & it hasn't changed a bit,
tea coloured with dark, dense rainforested banks, used to be a rainbows only water,
now infiltrated with browns. Some things change, some stay the same.




The 'Vale'.
Didn't catch a sausage, spooked maybe 9 fish hanging under the undercut banks…a little frustrating.
Then I misjudged my footing & went a fell arse over tit…tussock grass spearing straight up the nose,
...to make things worse, I must have dislodged my lunch from my day pack at the same time…..& lost that too.
Fishless, cold & hungry, I treated myself to a counter lunch at the nearest local.
Mmmm, porterhouse steak, pepper sauce & vegies + garlic bread rolls, next to roaring open fire.






A little exploratory side trip for next time.




Ooroo,

Brk Trt, soupmix & baileydav, thanks fellas.

In reality, it probably takes a few days to wind down from work & really
start relaxing/ enjoying yourself. Then before you know it, your heading back
on that flight home !

Thanks for the kind words Satoshi & Nic.

The best time for fishing in Tasmania is usually after Christmas.
But I enjoy the crisp coolness in the air & the snow cover when I go walking or climbing in the mountains,
we don't get much in the way of consistant snow here in Australia, so I try to enjoy while its here.
