| SALMON PONDS |
The
Salmon Ponds is considered to be the oldest trout hatchery not only in
Australia but the entire southern hemisphere. It was established in 1861
and it is the birthplace of trout (salmon) in Australia. My friends and
I stopped over to enjoy the trout ponds, the green lawns and the
historic memorabilia and mini-museum embedded in this 19th century style establishment.

| MT. FIELD NATIONAL PARK |
Mt.
Field is tagged to be one of Tasmania’s most loved national parks. The
park has a wide variety of scenic features and wildlife. It offers a
great range of facilities for day visitors. Few other national parks in
Australia offer such diversity in vegetation, ranging from tall swamp
gum forests and massive tree ferns at the base of the mountain, through
rainforest along the Lake Dobson Road, to Alpine vegetation at the
higher elevations.

| ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS |
The
Royal Botanical Gardens in Hobart is well renowned by its unique
collection of Tasmanian plants and tree species. You can just simply
bring along a picnic basket and mat while enjoying the exquisite
landscape and views. My partner and I went there in early summer and
thank goodness most of the flowers bloomed, including the magnificent
magnolia. Apart from the plant species, I was also able to spot
beautiful bird species and wild rabbits lurking in the bushes. I took
the chance to take as many photos as I can.
