Australia - 2005-03-16 - 2 - Mt Field National Park - Nature Walk & Waterfalls
Our first park stop was Mt. Field National Park. It has some huge trees,
as you can probably see from the one with me inside the tree. It also
had some trees that changed color at different heights. After walking
through the first part we got to the Russell Falls. As with all the waterfall
pictures you will see from this trip, they were less than normal because
of time of year & lack of rain. It is starting into the falls in Tasmania,
so in the spring there would be much more water to see. Nonetheless the
falls were still very beautiful. You see falls at 2 different level with
Russell Falls. After walking higher we also saw the source of the falls.
Later in this same walk we came to the Horseshoe Falls. There you are
able to get much closer to the falls, which provided the sweet shots we
got of us both with the falls. After that we walked back to the car &
ventured much higher into the park. We went through all 4 climate zones
& saw numerous different plants & ground cover. It also got very cold
at the top of the park. The roads made were not the best (a theme in Tasmania),
so we didn't make good time. We also had to come back on the same roads,
but it was really nice to see the forests, plants & views.
