Mt Field National Park

This lovely park is one of the most accessible hiking (and in winter, skiing) areas in Tasmania, only a short drive from Hobart. Yesterday I visited the famous and popular Russell Falls with friends, in the pouring rain, thus assuring a good viewing.

We then took a short walk through the beautiful alpine vegetation around Lake Dobson.

We abandoned plans to do a slightly longer walk to Lake Nicholls. I can't wait to go back and see more of the place.
