Today's walk is a circular walk that takes us through an area of old logging just outside Koonya on the Tasman Peninsular.
The weather for today is supposed to be fairly hot although we should be shaded by the forest for most of the day.
We parked on Fire Tower Road for the start of the walk.
Prostanthera Lasianthos Christmas Bush or Mountain Lilac. There were large displays of this on the way up to the Cliffs.
Mycenastrum Corium. A relatively large puffball found along roadsides and grasslands. This one was about the size of my phone.
Entering the forest.
The height of the first lookout and morning tea spot.
A cloudy view across Norfolk Bay.
And towards Hobart in the haze.
Nature imitating Lleyton Hewitt winning a point at Melbourne.
Nature's landscape gardener at work. There were a couple of comments about how good it would look in various gardens.
Another display of the fungi growing in this forest.
A trail of Stringy Bark sap imitating a person.
Chris likes big trees even if someone has cut the top off.
Another of Nature's landscaper at work.
It was about here when the comments started about bringing some equipment through next time to clear the fallen debris from the track.
Native Laurel new growth.
Some unusual growths emerging from a Myrtle tree trunk.
Janine passing a very large fallen tree.
Chris walked far enough along this fallen tree to reach the sign that said Turn Around You Have Gone Too Far.
The first of Clark Cliffs. I wonder what was interesting down that hole.
A very nice Celery Top Pine emerging from well below the cliff line.
Looking across towards Bruny Island in the distance.
Some hard water ferns clinging onto the sides of the cliff.
A couple of contented walkers enjoying the view over lunch.
New growth sprouting from a tree trunk.
Starting the way down.
Nature's warped and twisted forms.
We noted how dry the walk was this time and it was no more apparent that this creek which was hardly running at all.
There is nothing like a walk among the large treeferns.
Another different fungi.
The weather was not at hot as predicted and our six walkers spent an enjoyable 4 hours covering 9.25 kms including a climb and descent of 280 meters.
