I'm losing track of days - generally what happens when on holiday. My wristwatch actually died first day I arrived in Australia - must have been a sign - but after 2 weeks of not knowing what time it was I purchased a cheapy in Freo market back in WA.
This day we left the west coast and it was a cloudy 27 deg C. and travelled inland through Queenstown to Hobart, capital city. This was our longest drive of a whole 3 hours! Queenstown looks like a moonscape - this is where they stripped the rainforest to make way for open pit mines for copper and gold. Quite stark and ugly compared to rest of the state. Other than this eyesore - okay...it had its own beauty - the rest of drive was lush green pastoral, lots of sheep, cattle. We stopped enroute for a 20 min walk through rainforest to see Nelson Falls. Ahhhhh smells so good and fresh. We stopped in the Derwent Valley for lunch near The Wall. This is quite impressive attraction - a carver (name escapes me) is carving out of the local Huon pine, a 100metre larger than life, wall depicting early pioneers and early forestry with horses - quite impressive,its so smooth, it looks like its made of leather...
Arrived into Hobart, temp around 29deg C. at our Discovery Caravan Park.
