Tasmania Sites #1

The first half of our Tasmania visit. The first part is all at Cradle Mountain where we explored many trails. This was the only truly cold day of our trip, but we still saw many beautiful places on our hikes, and wombats, echidnas and wallabies in the wild. There's also pictures here from the beautiful Cataract Gorge in Launceston.

Lost Falls. It was a long narrow road to get to them, and they were definitely lost. Still, it was a nice view.
