Cradle Mountain

A day at Cradle Mountain... The Dove Lake circuit showing a riot of coloured wildflowers and a variety of white , rocky patches, scrub, tall timbers and mossy forest.  Beautiful. Couldn't believe my luck at seeing wombats and echidnas together,  munching on the grass.  Thanks for the sunshine Tassie.

Waratah

Wouldn't you love a giant waterfall in the middle of Bribie?

Trial Harbour in the west

Salmon farms

They have very stringent rules  to ensure the ocean is not damaged from fish food and faeces.

Mine pits

The colour of the water in the pit is influenced by the minerals.  That is Lake Burberry in the distance

Queenstown mines

The rocks are many colours, mostly a deep rose shade but some have blues or green stripes through them.  They mine copper,  silver and gold here.
