Rainforest Walk


Yesterday Bronwyn offered to drop Carlyn and I at a rainforest trail before heading to the afterschool program she works at Wed/Thurs. But, as fate would have it, she was running late. As she parked she nonchalantly told us, "Oh, just go ahead and drive yourselves. It's basically the same thing anyways. No worries." (No worries is a classic Aussie statement).

Armed with directions and our International Drivers Permits, we felt we were capable of tackling this wrong-side-of-the-road nonsense. In truth, the IDPs are not legit. You can get them at AAA for $15 and 3 minutes of your time.

We soon realized it was easier to actually drive than to be in the passenger seat worrying you were about to get driven over the cliff. I drove there, Car drove back. Still in one piece!

The waterfall itself was beautiful... one of the nicest bits of scenery we've seen down here in Tas. The state is about 60% forest still, and a lot of that protected, so a lot of the trails are really famous. This is just a small one though, but I clambered around the rocks/fallen trees to get next to the falls so you could see how big they are!
