Day 4-6 in Tasmania

2 more tours to go and the 2nd tour was to me, the most interesting of all. We first drove up to the peak of Mt Wellington and we enjoyed some very cloudy views of the surroundings. OK, abit narciccist here with all the individual shots -> notice the close eyes effect! Too early in the morning I say! Next was Animal time! We went to a Wildlife Sanctuary and saw the Tasmanian Devil, Wombat, Quolls (a rodent like native animal), Pademelons (a small breed of kangaroos) and Koala! Even the elusive wild platypus in the river. All so cute and fuzzy!




We then moved on to the Flora of Tasmania where we were face to face with the 'peeling trees' which gave them a very interesting look indeed up in Mt Field. This was beside Lake Dobson.
I also learned about a very unique way of seed distribution...by FIRE! Yes! Bushfires do happen in Tasmania every once a few decades, and when that happens, the seed pods burst out due to the heat and distributes the seeds all over...




Tallest Native Tree. They were quite humongous indeed!













The 3rd tour of the week kickstarted at Richmond Town (a touristy english town lookalike). Nothing really much, just a very old bridge, some ducks, a church and a river..haha..

Along the way, we passed by "Doo Town". Now Doo Town consists of a couple of houses 10+ or so, and every house is signposted "Doo-something" or "Something-Doo", so there was Doo-Me, We-Doo, Just Doo-It, you get picture. Check this one out!








"Doo F#*@ ALL!" if u can't see it!

The Devil's Kitchen & Arch was next where I saw the power of mother nature, the waves eroding the coastline...and just one of their many beautiful formations.
Finally, it was Port Arthur, an old prison in the south of Tasmania. Pretty historical stuff, but not something which was that appealing to me. Nice enough boat ride tho :)
Get me OUT of here!!!

Once I was done with my tours, it was just the final Saturday Morning market to lookfoward too, and boy was I surprised. It seemed like the entire population of Tasmania (just about 500,000) all appeared at the same time! Nice Dalmation dog sitting around :)
