4 to 6 Mar – Mt Field NP

Triabunna to Mt Field NP was our longest drive at (a bit over 100Km) since arriving in Tassie.  One of the great things about touring around Tassie is that you can see a lot in such a small area and a tank of fuel has lasted 2 weeks - a bit different to touring the vast distances of the outback.

We stopped at the historic (tourist trap) town of Richmond for a coffee. The town seems notable for an old bridge, several old buildings and expensive antique shops.

By the time we arrived at Mt field NP the powered sites were are taken so we opted for some nice nonpowered sites away from the crowd. During the day the paddymelons wander the camp and in the night large brushy tail possums take over the place.

Mountain Range On The Way to Lake Pedder

Next day we drove into the south-west wilderness area and on to Lake Pedder and Gordon Dam. Both are spectacular in their own way.
