A roadside breakfast and the last of our mobile & internet service for the next 3 weeks.
Hellyer Gorge - a stopover in a picnic area and our camp spot for the night.
Two boys looking after their mum on a long bush walk.
From Hellyer Gorge to Corinna. Corrina is an eco tourism resort, very much in the wilderness.
Board walks are scattered around the resort.
Trees , Trees and more trees.
The Fatman is a two car ferry, the only way to get across.
Karen's Cafe is open for business.
A bike ride to the Montezuma Falls at Roseberry was a terrific adventure. - 6 kilometres along an old tram line to the spectacular falls.
The bikes proved a great way to cut the walk time down.
Montezuma Falls.
The dodgy suspension bridge.
Time for a rest.
Harry and Karen take on the bridge.
Timber- tree across the track
The ARB train trip from Queenstown to Strahan through the rainforest along on old train route. The steam train is modified to be more environmentally friendly. ie not a coal burner any more. This proved to be an awesome journey.
Stopping at a number of stations for the train to refill the water tank.
The train is turned at the halfway point and another train takes us the rest of the way, two cool engines.
The Queen river runs into the king. Years of polluting has actually killed the river , no animal life at all is found in this river, very sad , after 75 years of neglect.
A view from the train line. We are on a timber scaffold bridge on the side of a mountain.
The train puts on a show for the passengers.
Lunch on the platform is part of the ticket, the apples are sensational in Tasmania.
A special tour of the engine.
People's park in Strahan is a peaceful place.

Lindsay and I did the ARB a couple of years ago and like you, found it an amazing journey. You are giving us plenty of 'must see' places if and when we do some travelling. Not sure about the bikes though. Aunty Jo XXX
