Tasmania II, more photos

The dense forest at Mount Field NP, SW Tasmania.  You could imagine a dinosaur appearing out of this lush forest.  Instead, it is the home of platypuses.

Russell Falls at Mount Field, NP.  A well-groomed trail zigzags upwards from the parking lot to get here.

A kind lady asked us if we would like our photo taken in front of the falls.

After hiking to Russell Falls, we hiked further up the forest path to the Upper Falls.  Even further up, we encountered a substantial grove of massive trees, about 250 feet tall.  How do you take a picture of such trees when you are surrounded by them?

Mount Wellington as seen from our hotel in Hobart.

Cataract Gorge, Tasmania, on the edge of Launceston.  If you don't want to walk the gorge trail, you could take the river boat up until encountering rocky rapids.

April in Japan, we saw the Spring blossoms and flower pedals on many trees.  A month later, we are seeing the Fall colors on leaves in Tasmania.  This photo was taken at the park above Cataract Gorge.
