Hiking In Tasmania, April 2002.


I had the pleasure of trekking through a few parks in Tasmania recently. (Click images to download the full size version). First up was an overnight jaunt into the "Walls Of Jerusalem". My father, who walked with me, had been planning a return trip for 40 years or so, ever since he was my age. The walking takes you past some remarkably picturesque pools and dominant bluffs. The experience proved rewarding for us both. As expected, the tracks have been improved greatly over the years.

We also did a short meander through the beginning of Cradle Mountain National Park, where I grabbed these shots. Both of us had hiked the overland trail a few times before, but the scenery never fails to take ones breath away.

We rounded our trip off with a brief exploration of Ben Lomond in the North East, Tassie's skiing destination during winter.

And, of course, no trip to Tassie would be complete without the customary trek up Mt Wellington, overlooking Hobart.
