To Deloraine



Nice Bush camp we stayed at as the CG was closed by the time we got t0 Lake St Clair



One of a few one way bridges I had to cross today



Looking back across the valley where the bridge was. Is a drop of about 85 m



This is about where we put the van onto the bike. Ha ha ha




The start of the 34 km corrugated and pothole road where we put the bike on to the van



Soon after we past Little Pine lagoon Werner started riding his bike again



The Great Lake which is at a low level at the moment



The highest point so far Ive driven up on this trip



Somewhere down there is Deloraine



Deloraine railway bridge across the Meander River

To Derwent Bridge



At the lookout after leaving Strahan and the weather hasn't improved very much



Downhill into Queenstown with a small part of the mine in the back




If you look closely you can see the van making it's way up the hill



Now it's my turn to take photos of Werner coming up the hill



Werner is 3/4 the way up and still having fun with taking a photo of me



Lake Burbury which I pasted on my way



Never know if Werner is wearing rain gear or not when I wait for him to catch up with me



This was the killer hill for Werner which went up to 830 m ( poor van )

Rest days in Strahan

We would like to wish our family and friends a very happy new year




The weather has been so bad that we spent a lot of time like this



The entrance to the people's park, which is the beginning of the walk to Hogarth water falls



A very pretty walk way that takes you there



The water falls at its best and I know why



The small commercial harbour in Strahan



Sit here for about 1 hour so Werner could take a photo



Off this small water plane landing



They were there too to see it land
