Long time no post, sorry. No wireless Internet reception 4 us in the places we were staying on the west coast....but it was worth it for the stunning scenery. Oh yeah, and the weather was really great too - NOT! Three degrees o/nite and torrential rain along with strong 40 km winds at Lake St Claire. Freezing. Thank goodness we had got some decent gear for the girls or we would not have been able to stay.
Sleet at lake St Claire in the morning and we could see a dusting of snow on the back of Cradle mtn!! Hopeless showers did not help. But who cares. Great vistas of Cradle Mtn from the lake during our afternoon walk. Seemed to fine up just long enough for an afternoon walk....
And someone lost their tooth during that jaunt!!
Took us ages to pack up in the rain after a second night in the freezing cold. Saw an echidna on the way out for our troubles tho!
Stunning scenery all the way to Strahan. It was rainy and misty. But the rain could not take away the majesty. Great waterfalls and wild river crossings. Awesome drive. Hard to capture it with just a snap happy camera... This was taken on the road between Queenstown and Stahan but doesn't do it justice.
