The wild west

The climate and geology had plenty of surprises.  I have been gobsmacked over the colour variations in the mountains and rocks.  Much of western Tasmania is mined for tin,  silver,  copper and gold. We have done some fishing,  4wheel driving and lots of spectacular walking tracks . Currently we're in a township called Waratah, which has an amazing waterfall in the middle of town.  Although it's Summer,  there are so many blossoming bushes... pinks,  purples and yellows. I'll add some further photos of Queenstown mines, the raging seas and coloured rocks of Trial Harbour, the Gordon Dam Wall,(where we saw 2 keen abseilers plunge down 140 metres) and Waratah.
