MONDAY 6TH MARCH - BACK TO THE FOREST

We received really sad news this morning in that our very good friend Trevor Park's wife Sonja passed away last night. She has been battling cancer for some time.

Tomorrow is the ninth anniversary of Tony and Kim losing Ben so it is a sad time. Our thoughts are with Trevor, Tony and Kim.

 

We are now back in the forest where we prefer to be, camped by a babbling stream in the Mount Field National Park. Given that we are less than 100 klms from Hobart, it is fairly popular so it is not exactly secluded but it's a lot better than a city caravan park.

 

 

This afternoon, we spent several hours walking the Waterfalls/Tall Trees circuit and visited the:-

Russell Falls

Horseshoe Falls and

Lady Barron Falls

Tomorrow we propose to head out to Lake Pedder/Strathgordon being at the end of the road on which Mount Field is located. We also want to explore the Lake Dobson area of the National Park being an alpine area 16 klms from the camp ground apparently used for snow skiing in winter.
