| Here is the amazing car we rented with its enormous space at the back for our baggage. The car we originally ordered would not have had anywhere near enough space. But, by a miracle of providence, our car was not back yet when we came to collect it. So they offered us this instead. It would have cost twice the price. So fortunate! |
 |
| Stopping off for delicious berries along the way. The berries in Tasmania are probably the best I've tasted anywhere. And so wonderfully cheap. |
 |
| Animal signs along the way. I love the killer kangaroo kicking over the car! And Lauren pretending to be an echidna! We had to be continually on the watch for animals. So many get killed unfortunately. We even found a book entitled "Roadkill Recipes" featuring recipes like Wombat Souffle and Echidna Kebabs (using the quills as skewers!) The amazing thing is it wasn't a "joke book." Took itself very seriously. |
 |
| We visited this amazing sculpture exhibition on the way out of Lake St Clair. It's called The Wall and is a vast series of wood sculptures of Tasmania's wildlife and the exploits of its industrious settlers. It's 10 years so far in the making and nowhere near finished yet. Definitely worth a visit but don't take photos or you'll get into hot water. |

| Having a fun game of Scrabble at Mount Field. |
 |
| At Mount Field, we stayed in some rooms attached to a pub which was nice when we wanted a drink or a game of pool. The place was decorated in a real retro cool style. The pub is "famous" as a location where they filmed the bar scene in the recent movie "The Hunter" featuring Willem Dafoe. Good movie! I watched it when I got back. |
 |
| Stopping off on the way to Freycinet for blue cheese and the most delicious crackers at an old farmstall. Srini and I used the car bonnet as a table. |
 |
| The closest we got to a Tassie Devil! Apart from one we saw dead on the road. Lauren kept spotting them from the car in the dark and yelling for us to stop, but then each time they started to hop; turning out to be Wallabies. |
 |
| On our final night, we all had a slap up meal. A great way to celebrate the end of an amazing trip. |
 |
| Here we all are at the restaurant. I can't recall the name. "Something on the Bay!!" |

| Srini being Srini. What a classic he is!! He helped to make the holiday so much fun. |

Just went through all the posts from this trip, and it is perfect in every way. Love the photogenic rocks at Sleepy Bay and Wineglass bay; the humorous shots; interesting fauna and flora; amazing coast and colours at Cape Tourville; dramatic and moody misty effects at Cathedral Rock; Tarn Shelf remains a big favourite for me - great use of reflections and beautiful compositions; still think the wombat can win a beauty contest (and cute photo scratching its butt!) and Dove Lake boathouse reflection also a favourite (but not my only one!) Awesome effort.
