Miche and the Prosser River at Orford at dusk...   

Maria Island National Park

Me with Darlington harbour behind...

Cape Barren Goose...

Miche and a skull washed up on the beach...

Wombat at a guess...

 


 

Plovers...

Painted Cliffs

Sandstone weathered by wind and sea to give an amazing honeycomb appearance...

Miche & the cliffs...


Over time iron oxide has stained them...

 

 
 



Taking a closer look...

 



Miche, with Darlington Bay in the background...


Eucalypt...

 


 

Some of the large coniferous trees were absolutely covered in pine cones...

Geese happily wandering past us...

A whalebone and one of the old abandoned cement building are evidence of the island's past uses before it became a national park...

Aloe Vera...

Swift Parrot...

Young Wombat...


Bishop & Clerk...

Forester Kangaroo...

The old Coffee Palace, beautifully restored, but unfortunately not serving coffee or anything else (refreshingly there are no shops on the island either)...


Miche in our bijou cabin in Triabunna...

 


Next stop - Hobart
