More Tassie

Onto Dove Lake in the Cradle Mountain National Park. We lucked out with good weather. It rains 7 out of 10 days of the year in this area. A nice walk around the lake. Hardly strenuous but relaxing if not for the hordes of other tourists. Everyone in Australia is escaping the summer heat in Tasmania I think.

Australians love their big things. This Tasmania Devil is one of the smaller "big things" we encountered. Other notables were the Giant Banana in Coffs Harbour and the Giant Prawn.

Wineglass Bay was one of the prettiest spots I visited in Australia. Up there with the Whitsundays. We hiked up over the ridge for some fantastic views and then down onto the beach. It was a little chilling for swimming although some crazy folks gave it a try. I stuck to lounging on the shore.

Crazy animal crossing signs everywhere we went. This was one of my favs.

Beware massive attacking kangaroos that will lift your car

After six glorious days in Tassie it was time to head to the mainland. It wasn't nearly enough time but we packed in a lot. I'll be back there....
