The great south west
Yesterday we took a flight with Par Avion to Melaleuca in Tasmania's south west world heritage wilderness area, as part of my Mum's 'big-O' birthday weekend in Tasmania. As you'll see from the photos below, the weather was perfect. There were only six of us on the half day trip, which included a boat ride out onto Bathurst Harbour. The tea coloured waters produce beautiful reflections. A couple of years back I read the books about Deny King and Win and Clyde Clayton who lived in the area last century, so I was keen to see what it really looked like. The views of endless mountain ranges and spectacular peaks were even better than I had expected. I would love to go back in winter to see snow on them. David saw a couple of sun fish in the ocean off the south coast and caught a glimpse of our house from the air on the return journey. Just fabulous, highly recommend this trip.

Looks absolutely gorgeous Susan. We've been thinking about this as one of the things we should do down here, after seeing your photos that's been confirmed - it's on the list :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning pics! This trip featured in the travel pages of the Melbourne Age a couple of weeks back, so I already have it on my 'to do' list - nice to know it's as good as the article made it sound.
ReplyDeleteWe had had a few friends who had flown in to Melaleuca before and raved about it. No wonder. I could look at those views endlessly. We will do it again, but either the full day trip or longer or in winter next time.
DeleteBeautiful Photos! You certainly had a perfect day for a trip like that. Is that an aerial view of Franklin in the last photo?
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, yes that is indeed Franklin and the Egg Islands. Nice aerial shot isn't it?
