Tasmania, 2013
My third trip to Tasmania. It truly is a magical place. This was a week where the focus was a lot of day hikes in national parks. These hikes include: Cockle Creek to South Cape Bay (the first/last part of the South Coast Track), Hartz Peak (foiled within 15 minutes of the summit due to one of Tassie's famed weather changes), the Tarn Shelf, and Cape Hauy. We were hoping to do Fluted Cape but the track was closed. Some walks had been meant to be longer, but were curtailed due to an ankle injury that I'd picked up prior to the holiday.
Themes: Rivers, Coasts, Alpine and sup-alpine environments, Glaciation
Places: Southport Lagoon, Southwest National Park, Hartz Mountains National Park, Huon River, Hobart, Mt Field National Park, Bruny Island and National Park, Tasman National Park, Mt Wellington.
