The diversity of Tasmania

We are on our last few days in Tasmania and I thought I would post some favourite images showing the diversity of the landscape, from the east to the west. 

On the north-east coast...The Bay of Fire, not named this because of these gorgeous lichen covered rocks, but because early explorers saw fires lit by aboriginal people.

The beautiful sandy beaches and the huge waves...

Some of the temperate rain forest...

A big Myrtle tree, another ancient species now protected from logging...

A canopy of Black Acacia trees on the west coast...

In a forest of big eucalyptus trees in Mt. Field National Park...

Some industrial debris left from the days of tin mining in the north-east.  This is a stamp mill.

In my next post, I will tell you how we spent Australia Day, Tuesday January 26.
