Two Weeks in Tasmania - 2

As we headed into the wilder part of the Tasmanian landscape the weather got even worse, but the World Heritage Wilderness areas of  the Franklin - Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and the Cradle Mountain Lake St. Clair National Park were stunningly beautiful. Having now seen these pristine areas I have a new understanding and respect for those who fought to retain these areas so many years ago.

             Seahorse World at Beauty Point in the Tamar Valley was absolutely fascinating.

There is so much to see in Tasmania that another visit seems likely - in the summer!
