Tullah Chalet
We stayed the night at Tullah Chalet. A beautiful little spot between Cradle Mountains and Lake St Clairs. Our room was facing the serene Tullah lake, just breathtaking.

On the way to St Clair Lake
After our rest at Tullah we headed to Derwent Bridge (our next stop for the night). A few lakes here and there and the most interesting of all was the outskirsts of Queenstown. Queenstown is a copper mining town and as a result of some toxic chemical spillage caused a major disaster killing all the trees and vegitation in the town. The earth was red and barren. As we drove out of the town we couldn't escape the curious colours of the hills and the landscape, almost pink in colour but my camera didn't handle it that well. The next three pictures are the best I could do.
An abondened Cafe; observe the colour of the hills.
The creek colour was brown. What a contrast fresh green growth against the brown water.
The Burbury Lake a few miles later, raintrout is farmed here, I hope it is not toxic. The hills are still a little pink here as well.

However, we didn't see any platypus here.
