From there we headed up the hills and took one last look back over, what I think is the most unique place I have been. A place built from mining, which gives tribute to their hard working forefathers all around town. So many lost their lives here.

Since then we have done walks each day, mainly in the Franklin Gordon National Park, a beautiful place. Hills, Lakes, waterfalls, and wilderness.

We are camped at Derwent Bridge over the weekend, took a drive out to the dam wall then a walk into Nelson Falls. One of the best we’ve seen.

It’s been raining on and off today, but it was a good day to do the Franklin Nature Walk. I loved it, so many different species of plants, all fresh from the showers of rain.

At the end of the trail we came to the *one at a time* suspension bridge

Lastly a very steep climb up Donaghy Hill. I can understand now why there was such a protest about daming this area. Even on a wet day there is so much natural beauty along the Franklin.

When we got back to camp, us and 2 other couples, we have been meeting up with, went across the road to the pub, for a beer and chat about our days adventures.
All caught up now , nice rain on the roof, I’m tired after another big day, so time for lights out. X
