Today's walk is behind Granton .
The weather forecast is for possible showers in the early afternoon so it is a little cloudy as we set off up the hill.
Just adjacent to where we parked the car on Granton Heights Road this echidna seems more interested in getting into an ants nest than worrying about mere humans observing him.
Our first view across the Derwent.
The climb begins.
There is one that appear to be out of practice possibly because he has been bike riding an E-bike in the Nederlands.
The Derwent's new Bridgewater Bridge from above.
Still climbing.
Mount Dromedary about which everyone comments "we must climb that one day!" when we can find some easy access.
On top of the cairn for a photo.
Finishing morning tea.
Looking back towards Glenorchy and the city centre.
This eucalypt was just alongside the cairn.
Heading down the other side of the hill.
The wattles are about all that is in flower at the moment.
This area is criss-crossed with old tracks.
Then we hit the creek at the bottom of the valley and head up it.
It is quite large and appears to be being used as a toilet stop for Tassie Devils with a large number of scats.
The rocks are still covered in green since our visit in 2015. I don' think a decision was made if it was algae or lichen.
Along with one of the cave's walls.
The more adventurous climbed on top of the cave.
Heading back down the creek.
Climbing out of the creek back to the start.
Nearly back to the cars.
