Today we went to Cradle Mountain National Park in the west of the state. It was another early start, but the weather could not have been better. On the way we stopped in Sheffield for a few minutes. It is known as "the town of murals" because every year they have a mural painting competition, and we were lucky enough to be there on the week of the comp! Saw some neat murals being painted and saw a few around the town. Then we were on to Cardle. We walked through a section of Tasmanian Rain Forest and got a feel for the land. Next we went to Dove Lake and took a nice afternoon walk around the lake. Even a wallaby was going for a walk too! All in all it was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, and a perfect place to hike. Wish I could have climbed the mountain, though!

Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures continue to be spectacular and it sounds like you are having a great time. Are you still in University though? Doesn't sound or look like much book time.
I wouldn't get that close to a Tasmanian Devil, either.
Was Australia going crazy when an Aussie won the U.S. Open (golf)?

I am in school currently. I don't post about school on here because there isn't much to say about the classes. The country was certainly proud that an Aussie won, but didn't seem overly joyous. Hope all is well in NYC.
