Panorama from Marion's Lookout. Showing Dove lake and Cradle Mountain.

Almost everyone else up here was on the way to Cradle Mountain summit. I have to confess I was feeling pretty good at this stage and was tempted to go further but glad I didn't I was a bit weary when I got back down to Dove Lake.

Leaving the cark park at Ronnys Creek with its wombats behind.

Crater Falls on the way up to Crater Lake. I had to take a photo as I needed a rest quite a few steps to get here.

Made it! Looking down on Dove Lake and across at Cradle Mountain.

Cradle Mountain from Marions Lookout.

Heading down. Was I really up there and even higher.

Views on the way down.

Button Grass on the way down.

Wombat Pool on the way down.

Back down to Dove Lake.

During this walk I saw two seperate guys heading off on the overland track to Lake St Clair. The weather the last 24 hours has been miserable I hope these blokes are still dry and not cold and wet.

A sanctuary set up for the breeding of Devils to help have a group of devils free from facial tumour.

We booked a night feeding tour. Well its not exactly night at 5:30.

Some young devils hanging out.

Young devil.

Feeding the devils - isn't this what we paid for?

Mum with two of her joeys in the background.

I didn't realise what good climbers the young devils are.

Although this fellow was a little unsure about getting back down.

Yes they have a breeding program for quolls as well. The quolls are released back into the wild.

This fellow looks like he is just coming out for the evening.

They fed the quolls while we were there as well.

The Easter Quolls come in dark and light colouring just like our hair colouration. The gene for the dark ones is recessive so only 1 in 4 is dark.

We came from Cradle Mountain down to Zeehan. Had a look at the golf club for camping. It was nothing flash so we went and checked out some of the free camping options.

There a road I wonder if it goes anywhere - a lookout?

There is a nice camp ground at Trial Harbour. How far is it to Granville Harbour. Look on Hema it is only 20 km on and easy 4x4 track lets have a look. Not so easy! Still ended up at Granville Harbour via the bitumen.

Looking at the Parks website they describe the Climies track as extremely difficult.

I spent some time trying to photograph  the surf in front of the setting sun.

None of these are straight out of camera. All required some work to balance the sky and the forground.

The Kelp washed up on the beach. At first we thought we were seeing seals in the ocean but it was this kelp.

There was bit of it washed up on the rocks and we think it was causing the unpleasant smell. Though there were lots of poo tickets in the bush behind us.

From Granville we had to complete the trip up to the south side of the pieman river and ferry. I wouldn't try this trick with a van though there is no where to turn around on the south side.

Nice resting place for a couple of old graves dating back to the 18 hundreds.

A panorama from the Whaleback Lookout.

It was before this lookout that we saw a real live wild Tasmanian Devil 🙂

Morning walk around Strahan after a wet night.

Not one but two Mclarens parked in the street.

Some nice reflections in the harbour.

Somebody left this old lobster pot here just so everyone would come and photograph it.

First sighting of ripe wild Blackberries.

Not the best weather for river cruising.

Did get some atmospheric landscapes though.

Salmon and ocean trout fish farms in Macquarie Harbour. This harbour has been selected because it does have a large amount of fresh water running through it.

The white pole marks this semi-submerged rock wall. The wall was constructed at the turn of the century to increase the speed of the tidal flow and keep the channel self "dredging".

This rock breakwater on the sea side of Hell's Gates was constructed with the aid of a steam loco. Some of the steel tracks can still be seen rusting away on the rocks.

Looking back into the Harbour through Hells Gates and the lighthouses.

This house and others was originally used by lighthouse keeping staff. They are now owned privately but the only access is from the sea.

One of the two lighthouses marking the harbour entrance.

A patch of sunlight on the harbour shore.

The closest I came to capturing reflections in the Gordon River. Our boat tied up for our short rainforest walk.

The other companies boat heading up the Gordon River. It is pretty much a sister boat to the one we are one. They both have a hybrid system so they can run on full electric when in the Gordon River.

Part of the ruins on Sarah Island a convict penal settlement. This the oven used to bake the bread for most of the settlement. There was also a much smaller oven for the commandant's kitchen.

The more recognisable ruins on Sarah Island. This was a three story sandstone structure marking the entrance to convict sleeping area.

The cloud trying to lift from the harbour shores.
