Donaghy's Lookout - Central Tasmania

After the long walk, Rani decided that it was time for a quick break before heading back to the car and onto our final destination.

Donaghy's Lookout, Central Tasmania

After an exhilarating walk to Nelson's Falls, we were in the mood for another nature walk and to see some more breathtaking views. Donaghty's Lookout certain fulfilled our desires.

Nelson Falls, Central Tasmanian Plateau

After a very enjoyable time travelling around the west coast, it was time to head down south towards Hobart. On the way, we stopped at many interesting places such as Nelson Falls. A great walking track that passed through a rain forest and eventually lead to the falls.

Appleby's Avenue - Queenstown

We made such an impact while in Queenstown that the council decided to name a street after us. Not much of a street, but the view from the top was sensational.
Take a closer look at the football ground...not a blade of grass in sight. "They breed 'em tough down in Queestown".

The Wilderness Railway - Queenstown

We did the Wilderness Railway trip from Queenstown to Strahan...it was sensational - we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Like most ‘touristy’ things, it was expensive ($195 each for Premier Class), which included all drinks and lunch plus nibbles. An excellent experience, with some of the most sensational scenery that I have seen thus far in Tassy.

Targa Tasmania - Rosebery

From Waratah, we decided to head to Zeehan for a few days. On the way there, we had to stop at Rosebery to allow the Targa Tasmania racing cars through. It brought back memories from the days that Rani and I attended the car racing at Sandown and Calder Raceway in Victoria. For a few minutes, the testosterone was racing through my veins.
