Tasmania Trip 2009 - Mount Field National Park

Russell and Lady Baron Falls
These two falls are two of Tasmania's most treasured places. The falls can be reached by a very easy track that suits both young and old.
On the way to Russell Falls

The tall swamp gums are the tallest trees in Australia and common to this area of Mount Field National Park.


Trunk of a tall swamp gum, see the green moss around the body.

We sighted and took a picture of a little pink belly robin - apparently it is a very rare bird.



On the way to Barron Falls, not too far from Russell Falls.

Lady Barron Falls.

Lupins are considered to be weeds here and found along the roads, specially the yellow ones.


The fox gloves are also common and found at most national parks. I am sure they are not native to Tasmania.
