As with the rest of Australia, Tasmania has more than its fair share of amazing views and areas that I want to spend more time in exploring. The longer I live in this country, the more I love living here. The natural areas of this vast country are wonderful to see when I get chance.

The first few photos are from the banks on Arthurs Lake. We stopped near some of the infrastructure for a hydroelectric power plant were located. I loved the contrast between the man-made and the natural, with the natural being far more interesting to me. Views across this rather large (to me) lake were lovely, if a little bleak. It reminds me of the moors at home, especially with the cold, bracing wind!

Behind me when I took the above photo was where the trees started growing. I love Australian trees, so humour me with the next few photos that I enjoyed taking at the time.

It’s also good to see that there are gum trees with lovely patterned bark as it peels here in Tasmania. I’m not sure of the species of this tree, but I love the colours on its trunk.

This is the same tree, believe it or not. With the wind, the clouds were constantly moving past the sun. This is part of the reason why I enjoyed taking photos here, the light was always changing, as were the colours of the trees.

Back across the lake, the wind was blowing some rain clouds our way. I always like watching rain clouds in the distance and as long as they stay that way! Once we set off on out travels again, the rain did eventually catch up with us, but thats not a surprise with the wind!

I also saw these trees beside the lake, which I liked the look of.

With plenty more time for exploring Tasmania over the next few days, I am sure there will be plenty more views I’ll want to share.
