Magical place. I was born at Queenstown and spent the first 27 years of my life fishing and camping the Gordon, Franklin, Braddon, Arthur, Pieman Rivers. Macquarie Harbour, Trial Harbour, Granville Harbour. Truly the best of outdoor adventures
@GrandMajestic Yes. Between the Airport and the mountain lies Queenstown at the bottom of the Queen River Valley. So often covered in fog. Many times the sun would break through at midday then disappear again an hour later. Old Queenstown saying, "If you can't see the Mountain, it is raining. I f you can see the Mountain, it is about to rain."😁
@pennynoodles It was just delightful that day, but when the wild weather comes in off the Indian Ocean, which it does a lot, then it's windy, rainy and cold. But as you can see, there are beautiful days also.
@pennynoodles yes, it's nice how the hills and trees are reflected. I'm glad it came out in the photo. I have more, so I might load them into my albums sometime.
@SW-User There was absolutely nothing there. The guide told me that the rainforest is prehistoric and predates animal life. That was difficult to comprehend, but as the forest regenerates itself, no birdlife inhabits the area.
@SW-User The thing that got me was the silence. In the middle of the rain forest, I could hear myself breathing.

@GrandMajestic Wow cool, i never had that experience as i wasn't on my own. There are so many amazing places to visit in Tassie, i'd love to go back again.
This could be mistaken for parts of the Georges River,but a lot of it is not real good.They are trying to clean it up,i will be happy when you can swim in it again.
