Yesterday we went for a drive around Bruny Island, walked up to the lookout on the neck of Bruny, then we went on an Eco cruise around the cape of Bruny. We went through some spectacular rock formations and then down into the Southern ocean and saw some Australian fur seals. It was a beautiful sunny day but it was still very cold.
Today we went around the peninsular, back up to Huonville then down to Southport, At Geeveston we went into the Hartz mountains and then onto the Tahune air walk. This is on the Huon river not far from the junction of the Picton river and the Huon.
After a climb up to the top of the airwalk you then walked on a steel framework around the tops of the trees. At the end is a large cantilever viewing area. Alex couldn’t stomach the cantilever section but did really well on the rest of the air walk.
We then went along the river to see some Huon pine trees. After leaving Geeveston we headed up to Huonville again. Stopped off at Franklin to see the only wooden boat building school. Students do a two year Diploma course and in that time they build a huon pine boat.
We then drove into Hobart and then out towards Richmond for our stop for tonight. The pictures today are of the rocks etc at Bruny island cruise and the airwalk cantilever.
