You can take a car ferry across Bass Strait but parking is somewhat tight. Some photos of Dicksonia antarctica in northern Tassie, along with some scenic shots: the harbour at Devonport returning to Victoria, I visited the Dandenong Ranges where C. australis and D. antartica were equally common ( unlike Tassie ): Eucalyptus obliqua E. regnans Other huge eucs, perhaps E. viminalis or E. cypellocarpa kitsch regenerating snowgums at Lake Mountain, 1,400m |

Thanks for those Phil. My wife and I watched "The Kettering Incident" recently and that was filmed down in Tasmania. It felt like a "down under" X Files set amongst some amazing trees, ferns and landscape! |

What stunning places. My nan always used to harp on about the Dandenongs. Now I see what she means. |

Great photos! I'm nobody's nan but I'm going to be harping on about the Dandenongs for a while, too. They are less geographically impressive than the Blue Mountains for sure, but the area has a certain memorable "Je ne sais quoi". I think the misty, drizzly, changeable weather I had might have contributed. Or maybe just because my ground trip officially started with a drive to Olinda, I came the closest to experiencing a sort of horticultural Stendhal syndrome there haha. |

That was largely because of the rhodos I'm guessing. I didn't have time to visit the Rhododendron Gardens. Annoyingly, I couldn't see any view from Mt Dandenong because of persistent fog and smoke haze. |

Great photos Phil. Seeing them in habitat is inspiring. Makes me try harder. Anybody know the fern on the DA in photo .023? |

Thanks for bumping the thread Alene what fabulous shots Phil apologies for not thanking you for posting them sooner than this. The only problem is my fernery now looks rubbish compared to how nature does it lovely shots you are lucky to be able to view such "local" delights |
