May 19th

After staying at Sale showground for a couple of days, we took to the high country and travelled the great ridge road through the Tarra Valley .

There were lots of stops during the day to do bush walks. I have never seen so many healthy and huge tree ferns. One of the walks took us deep into the Forrest and over a swinging bridge



From the bridge you could see just how big the ferns below were. Magnificent !



It was very damp and cool in the Forrest giving the growth on the trees and rocks the ideal place to flourish. As good as any tropical forest walk we’ve done.



Loved this ancient tree, thousands of years old they say.





I could spend all day wandering around places like this, taking photographs, listening to the sounds of nature ,babbling streams and rushing waterfalls. So beautiful ! It took us all day to do a tourist loop and then settle for another night beside the river at Yarram. The town of murals. Next morning I found these two in a coffee shop in town.
