Today we set of from Balmoral Rd for our walk along the Alum Cliffs. The weather forecast is typical for late autumn in Tasmania - mainly fine with some showers and a maximum temperature of around 14.
Not long into the walk we cross Browns River - Mt Wellington in the background is covered in rain.
Stopping to admire the view on our climb from the beach
Storm damage
A walker going in the other direction told us that a short distance ahead there were 2 tawny frogmouth's perched in a tree. This picture shows us looking for them - unfortunately we couldn't find them
Tree with an interesting burl
We leave the reserve and go along Wootten Drive

We passed here about 2 years ago and this old house was in urgent need of repairs then!
