Some Images from Tasmania

Tasmania here we come! This is me getting on the flight from Melbourne to Launceston. The plane was not full so you can see that Tasmania is not the hub of Australia!

Finally we arrived and went looking for some fishing spots.

Here is Bob fishing a beautiful spot on the St. Patrick's River. The water is very clear. The bushwacking you have to do is horrendous. The rainforest is very dense and thick. It is full of prickly vines that catch your boots and your sleeves. It is so dense that at times you have to stop and turn around to try a different route. We fished here for the morning and barely got down the river.

Here I am with the guide, Pete, that we hired to give us an overview. This is the view from the Powerina Lookout back over the valley below towards Cressy.

This is Bob polaroiding for browns on a lake up in the highlands. It was a very blustery cold day - below zero with wind chill. No browns were out this day.

Tasman Highway!

Bob is polaroiding a brown trout that is swirling in the reeds. We are at Four Springs Lake. This was a beautiful lake and trout were rising at dawn and dusk. The birds were very loud here as were the frogs. I enjoyed the choir of frogs very much.

Yahoo! A nice little brown trout caught at dark on the Ringarooma River. They love to come out and play at dusk and were feeding on small white mayflies this evening.

This is the National Bank Building in Derby. In our map book it is sited as a place to visit. Today as we stopped there was a for sale sign on it and on the Anglican Church and Hall across the road.

This is the Great Forester River. It is another beautiful stream that requires major bushwacking.
