After arriving in Tassie, we spent one day in the north of the island.
We visited Beauty Point where they have Platypus World and Seahorse World.

A pot-bellied seahorse.
The male fertilizes and hatches the eggs in his pouch. But the big belly is just for show. Big bellies are considered to be very sexy in seahorse society

| Leafy sea-dragon - my favourites |

| Commercial poppy fields look beautiful in full flower |
We drove on to Cradle Mountain where we camped for one night
 |
| Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain |
 |
| Echidna |
 |
| Currawong |

Kerry and I did the 3 hour hike around Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain in the background. Beautiful day for it.
 |
| The road heading up and out of Queenstown was very winding. I was glad to be on the opposite side of the road to the almost sheer drop. |

The Central Highlands of Tassie. Stunning scenery
 |
Visited 'The Wall' at Derwent Bridge. It is a large indoor installation, carved by one man, in wood, depicting the story of Australian wildlife as well as the early settlers. The work is stunning and the detail on the hands is incredible.
