Road Trip - the Journey

Took a road trip with Ben and Hayley yesterday.  Left here early and headed along the north west coast...
not looking too promising
 
But turned out to be a beautiful day...
out the back of Burnie
 
 
And on to Fernglade Reserve...


There are a couple of short bushwalks you can do, but we were keen to get on the road, so will save those for another day...


And apparently it is a hot spot for platypus, but as I see them quite often in the Meander River here in Deloraine, why go all the way to Burnie to see them :))...
 
 
 
 
A photo stop at Table Cape.  Looking west along the coast to the small beachside town at Boat Harbour, then on to Rocky Cape...
And if you look between the dip in the last two hills in the distance on the right, you can see The Nut at Stanley...where we were headed
 
 
 
To be continued....

  1. There are platypusses (platypi?) along your river? Are they friendly creatures?

    1. Platypus, platypuses, platypi...apparently all terms are used, but I usually just use 'platypus'...like sheep, or sheep :) Yes...we have a few in the river. They are very shy, and you usually only see them at dawn and dusk. xx
