This photo was taken at a picnic spot by the river on the way to Tahune.

And these were taken on a short walk into the rainforest nearby.

Tahune Airwalk is a 600 metre long steel walkway running through the forest and over the river. On average it is 20 metres high in the trees, and over 37 metres above the forest floor at it’s highest point and 48 metres above the river. Despite the height of the Airwalk, the trees still tower above when you walk along it. Some of the eucalyptus are over 80 metres tall!

After this, we did the Swinging Bridges Walk, which is a 3 kilometre track that crosses the Huon and Picton rivers. From the confluence of the rivers, in the distance, we could see the cantilever of the Airwalk, poking out above the river. It was a very enjoyable walk. I was glad we had the bridges to ourselves though… they bounced quite a lot when we walked on them!

We had lunch in the cafe at the visitor centre before setting off home. We stopped to have a quick look at a tree that was marked as the biggest. It’s a stringybark eucalyptus that is almost 100 metres tall, although it doesn’t look that impressive amongst its tall neighbours! Eucalyptus are the world’s tallest flowering plants.

  Back at Richard and Rachel’s, John’s made dinner while I did our ironing. We’ve started to pack because we’re borrowing Richard’s car tomorrow and heading off on an 8-day road trip. We got some lovely places to see. This is a beautiful country.

Geeveston

It’s a small town in south west of Hobart.

Had sushi for lunch. Took a while for us to get lunch as there was many people lining up for take away sushi. 

Later on, we took a walk around the town, visiting shops, parks and wood museum.

An Australian version of Candylicious?

Cygnet 

Cygnet is a town in Huon Valley, which is south east of Tasmania. I was so tired after walking in Geeveston and slept in the car. When I woke up, I was here in Pagan Cider, where they produce cider fresh from their own trees for the past 4 generations!

We’re actually here for cider tasting. Trying different flavours such as apple, pear, cherry, blueberry and strawberry cider. When we’re done with cider tasting, I’m starting to feel a little dizzy. >.<

Oh. And we bought 4 bottles of mix flavour which is apple, strawberry, cherry and pear. Also a bottle of 100% cherry juice. Woohoo!

We got back home straight after getting the cider. Can’t believe I KO-ed in the car again. Probably I was too drunk and tired. XD

Later on for dinner, we had Italian food. Thought maybe we should pamper ourselves a bit. haha

This is a bomb!
