As far as East is from West

... is not how far we travelled on this day, but boy, as the good Dr Z prophesied, did we go FAR!


The previous post was mainly about Lake St Clair. This post includes some LSC (pumphouse above, that was never actually used but was built for emergencies) but also includes some incredible shots that nearly made me fall off the kitchen chair really...

In short, we thought: "Hmm, weather looks pretty bland (compared to previous day anyway), lets drive to Queenstown and beyond, then travel back to Hobart in a single day!"

Here are some pics along the way, I think some are Mt Arrowsmith, Frenchmans Cap (in far distance and with a cold looking white cap), and various Mtns coming into Queenstown.




Well, if you drive round lots of corners and down into Queenstown, it is possible that small kids in said car might get slightly sick. We found this out shortly before arriving in Strahan and leaving Queenstown.


However, he did enjoy chasing seagulls and ducks at the Strahan foreshore. The journey back was slightly slower on the switch-backs through the passes and was incredible. On the way back we did enjoy a lack-lustre pub meal at fog-shrouded New Norfolk.
