Cox Bight, South West Tasmania

Scan of 35mm slide. We climbed up from the beach as a warm-up for the next couple of days, over the Ironbounds in the distance! From here we could see the SW Cape and had a taste of some of the weather we struck, not much, as the sun shone and we ran out of sunburn cream, and resorted to smearing some mud on our arms and legs, not that we needed to spread the mud up our legs very far beyond where it reached above our boots. We need to return to Tassie and do some more walks... We returned a few times in #Smoky60Series, towing the .. #VelcroPalace and covering 7,000km. Later we did two trips in #AngelaMerc to add to our #roundAustraliawithSpelio travels... tastrails.com/cape-hauy/ See Wilderness News Autumn 2016.. 40 years since the Tasmanian Wilderness Society was formed by a small band of environmentalists chastened by the unsuccessful campaign to protect the priceless Lake Pedder from a massive hydroelectric dam, came together to ensure the fate of Lake Pedder would not befall the wild and mighty Franklin River. 2015 was the hottest year on record! www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg2/index.php?idp=674 www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-positives-negativ...
