Stanley to the Great Lake in central Tasmania, then onto Strathgordon & finishing up today in Port Huon. The pictographs tell the story.
Waiting for the penguins to come out on our last night in Stanley.
Sunset pic of a rock face, while waiting for the penguins.
Trendy silhouette of 2 cows at sunset, while waiting for the penguins.
Trendy silhouette of 3 cows (which is better than 2 cows ), while waiting for the penguins.
Trendy silhouette of irrigator on the ridge, while waiting for the penguins.
Pretty crappy pic of the full moon rising over the sea at8.50pm. Still no penguins. We went home.
Pano of some rocks beside the road, on the way to the Great Lake.
The Great Lake from the newest dam wall. Ther was alow one in front of the concrete one, built in 1916. Then the concrete one which is higher was built in 1922. Finally the one we are on, which is a lot higher was built in 1982. The lake is pretty low, the concrete one should be under water.
As above.
Pano of the quarry for the dam & Yvonnes' 2 identical twin sisters, who came to visit.
Now this is a serious verandah extension.

Looking down the face, you can see the concavity.
