Amanita, a poisonous mushroom found on the ground!
Tassie was pulling out all the stops when my first day on the #OverlandTrack started. What a way to start my journey through Cradle Mountain #NationalPark!!
Trekking the Overland Track. If you're hard core you can carry your own gear and camp, or if you're like me and appreciate a warm, dry bed and a good meal at the end of the day, you can travel with Cradle Mountain Huts and stay in gorgeous cabins. This picture was taken in April which was unseasonable snowy. #snow #hiking
The Overland Track is a 65km (40 mi) track through the World Heritage Area from Cradle Mountain to Lake Saint Clair through beautiful Tasmanian wilderness. Most people take 5-6 days for the hike through the diverse terrain of sheer mountains, temperate rainforests, wild rivers and alpine plains. #hiking

Strahan

In the western wilderness of Tasmania in Australia, there is a remote historic mining town which is rather beautiful and peaceful, named Corinna. It is the gateway to the Tarkine - second largest temperate rainforest in the world. I went there in a winter break, and pitched my tent (was the only tent there) just in front of this river - Pieman River (quite like the name). Almost after the gold sunset, fog started rising from the surface of Pieman River. Then, the whole tone went so #Blue! Everything was just right! However, the second day, when I rented a kayak to explore surroundings by river, a tourism board caught my attention. It WAS nothing rather than description of this place, BUT this river turns out to be named after a convict who bacause of his repeated CANNIBALISM!!!! In the year of 1822, the convict Alexander Oearce finally recaptured, after few escapes, with bits of Thomas Cox's (another convict he escaped with) hands and fingers in his pockets. Even though I was horrified by this plausible true story, I finished reading the story with disgust for Pieman River. Since I have already paied for the rental of a kayak, I figured that I have to go into the Pieman River with a sense of disgust. Fortunitely, the scenery was simply so great that I left behind that horribly inhuman story.
