Out the window at Launceston airport. I had to take this because it's hilarious how there's nothing there. When you fly in you just go over some sheep. Posted by Hello

I think we should build this on the Cove property. Let me know what Jeff thinks of the idea. Posted by Hello

A taste of the architecture in Launceston. There were tons of old buildings and churches. This is city hall. Posted by Hello

There was a Japanese monkey display at Launceston City Park. Completely hilarious. Posted by Hello

There were tons of Peacocks at the visitors area at Cataract Gorge. I was fortunate enough to have one spread it's feathers for me. They make the loudest, most obnoxious noise ever though. Posted by Hello

The canon at Launceston City Park. Why would I take a picture of this canon you ask? Just look at the inscription. Posted by Hello

The group on the way up to the Cradle lookout. Me, Penny, Jerry, Michelle, Warren (our guide) and Darren. Posted by Hello

While we were eating lunch we spotted a wombat! Posted by Hello

A view of the countryside on our way down from the lookout. Our guide said this area has been used for a lot of dinosaur docos (documentaries). It's easy to see why. It's completely bizarre and beautiful at the same time. Posted by Hello

Our group at the top. From left to right: Darren the Brit, Jerry and Penny from Newcasle, Michelle from Ireland, and myself Posted by Hello

A bit closer to Cradle Mountain, looking over Dove Lake. The flat bit all the way on the right is where we climbed up to for a great view of the mountain and surrounding lakes. Posted by Hello

Cradle Mountain in the distance Posted by Hello

Did I mention this thing swayed as you walked across it, and the sides there are actually at an angle outward. Sandboarding was easy compared to this. Posted by Hello

The other reason for the waiver. This one man bridge gave you a better view of the falls. Posted by Hello

You have no idea how fast I'm going. This is the reason for the waiver at the beginning of the tour. Loads of fun. Sand EVERYWHERE. Posted by Hello

The hill we sandboarded. I'm not sure you could understand how large and steep that is without seeing it in person. Posted by Hello

Canoeing on the lake at the chalet we stayed at two nights. Posted by Hello

Lake St. Clair. We ate lunch prepared by our guide looking out over the water and went on a short walk around the lake. Posted by Hello
