Oh, the places our car has gone
Panning for gold in the Shotover River
Glenorchy
Running from the Tasmanian Devil
Bryant Glacier in the background
Yesterday we drove to Glenorchy, a village of just 200 residents, mostly because it's a beautiful drive and frankly because we had done everything else on our list... It turned into a great day. The landscape once again was spectacular, and we got to get pretty close to Bryant Glacier.
We had lunch in town, and remarked that even in a town of just 200 you can get delicious coffee. It's kind of like Italy in that way. The espresso/coffee drinks are fantastic everywhere.
We did a little off-roading in our station wagon, heading for a town called Paradise. We never made it, but it made for a little adventure. We are very glad that our car held up so well! A break-down would not have been good in this remote area.
On the way back we stopped at the Shotover River, one of the world's richest gold rivers. They say there still is a lot of gold to be found, so we gave it a try. Unfortunately, we came away empty handed. Well, Liam found a rock he liked...
You're making me want to meander! I think I'll drive through Topanga to get to Santa Monica tomorrow. Hmmmm - not quite the same!
