Travel Times 9

Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain
I'm back! I've returned home after two weeks in Tasmania with the family, followed by a week in Melbourne on school camp. Sadly I didn't take a single photo on camp but I did take some in Tasmania so I'll make a post about that!

In our two weeks there we literally explored the entire island. We started in Launceston and then travelled down the East coast, to Port Arthur, along the south coast to Hobart and then back up to Launceston. 

These photos are from some of my favourite places.

The photo to the left is at Cradle Mountain by the Dove Lake. We spent about an hour and a half walking around this picturesque lake and it was really lovely. 

Below is a photo from Wineglass bay, my favourite place in Tasmania. It was a killer hike down to the bay but it was so worth it! We saw some starfish in the rock pools and a little wallaby came up to eat lunch with us!

The two photos above are sights we saw while driving around the coast. We were lucky to have amazing weather, but there is absolutely no way I would ever contemplate going swimming! Seems such a shame to have such beautiful coastline when you can't use it!



























The next two photos above are at the top of Mount Wellington. This trip up the mountain was such an impulse idea but it turned out to be absolutely awesome. I hate the cold and absolutely despise snow, so I really didn't enjoy that expect of it, however the view was just incredible.

While we were in Tasmania we went on SO many walks in the rainforest and along the coast. Russel Falls was one of my favourite inland spots.

Have you ever been to Tasmania? What were your favourite spots?

    1. It was quite strange going from Adelaide where it was a moderate temperature, then to Tasmania where it was just so cold! It was so very pretty though!
