Mt Field National Park

Due to the Australia Day long weekend we decided to spend four or five days here, it was the perfect spot. The National Park is beautiful and the Tyenna River running past the campsite was a great place to play and try and spot a platypus. The national park was running ranger tours due to the school holidays, which were fantastic. We learnt all about platypus and how to spot them, unfortunately we just didn't spot one!
We did quite a few walks while here and saw some gorgeous waterfalls as well as some huge swap gums. We also discovered that there were some more large swamp gums not far from there that had been recently included in the existing World Heritage Area. These gums were even more amazing and some were nearly 300 or so years old and over 87 metres tall.
Tim had some time to do some running repairs on the camper and was able to sort out an ongoing problem we had with the breaks. Luckily while doing this he found one of the wheel bearings needed replacing avoiding any problems we might have had on the road.

  1. Hi guys - more beautiful pics from Tassie. You look like you're in the groove and making the most out of this incredible time together. You're all missed here in Bulli, as our crazy school term rolls on. My new job is great, really busy but so far, so good :-) Kids have started to learn guitar, so we're being serenaded (!) with all sorts of impromptu tunes. Still, we'd all rather be on the road, taking the days as we found them...grey nomading, anyone??? Take care, and keep on blogging xoxoxo
