Merry Christmas!
Cradle Mountain
Many people have stood in this spot before me. It makes it no less delightful.
From the wilds of Tasmania may I wish everyone a very Happy Christmas.

How wonderful. Keep on showing us your wonderful photos. Happy Christmas Jessica.
Thanks Chloris. Will do. Internet permitting. It’s been challenging last few days.
Have a memorable Christmas at Cradle Mountain … Lovely to see your wonderful photos & to enjoy your observations as you go along.. enjoy!
Thanks. I’m running a bit behind but Cradle Mountain has been one of the big highlights of Tasmania so far.
You’re seeing so much of this huge country, it’s fun to guess where you’ll be next. Greetings to you too, Jessica.
Everyone we’ve met has been surprised at just how far we’ve travelled. But it’s such a long haul to get here, we have to make the most of it!
Lovely pictures to brighten a dull grey day here, hope the sun continues to shine on your Christmas down under. Love and best wishes from Mr & Ms TT.
It’s certainly heating up Down Under. Coming home is going to be a real shock to the system!
Merry Christmas! What a beautiful spot.
It was lovely. Especially with that clear blue sky. A very Happy New Year to you both!
Happy Christmas and new year, Jessica. (What’s the plant in the featured image? I recognise it but can’t recall its name.)
It’s the Tasmanian Waratah, Telopea truncata. It blooms just in time for Christmas and certainly looks the part!
You, too, Jessica
The sun was shining and we walked 13 miles! Probably enough to burn off the extra calories.
Merry Christmas to you, Jessica!
Thanks Peter.
Oh, my goodness, now you are in Tasmania – another region I have yet to visit. I hope you will post some photos of this lovely island. Enjoy your time over there, Nadelik Lowen!
Next post, internet permitting.
And now I discover there is such a thing as a Cornish-English dictionary. Who’d a thought it!
Best wishes for a merry Christmas to you too, Jessica!
It’s nice to be wandering about in shorts on Christmas Day.. could get used to it!
Merry Christmas and a happy new e
And a very Happy New E to you too Brian! 😉
Merry Christmas to you too. What a lovely photograph. Enjoy Tasmania. x
Thanks! At times the weather has been rather English but it’s picked up nicely now.
Hoping your traveling Christmas was a good one.
It was lovely. We took a picnic to a lake high up on a hill and walked 13 miles!
Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas Jessica, looking forward to catching up sometime soon xxx
We must definitely do that. Hope you’re getting plenty of rest to heal that foot!
Looks like the two of you have had a quite a time. Best wishes to you for 2019.
And to you Linda. Look forward to catching up with you soon.
Wow, what a wonderful time you are having! All the very best to you and yours.xxx
Thanks. Just caught up with news of Sam. Glad all is well x
Have a wonderful New Year’s!
What a beautiful spot, I couldn’t blame any amount of people for trekking out to it. I think the water is bluer than blue lake!
It was such a clear day, we were so lucky. And just as well. The trek was relatively short, but the car journey three hours each way! Even Australia’s islands are massive.
Oddly enough when I saw the picture of Cradle Mountain I was reminded of Blaven, on Skye. Cradle mountains looks a lot warmer and drier! According to the man you refer to as the lord of cord, I could have planted my onion seeds on the shortest day. I am saving this treat for January when all the festivities are over. In other exciting news my asparagus has decided to start growing, in December. If this sort of thing carries on I shall have to lie down.
Happy Christmas to you. Have you seen any snakes yet? I have managed two trips to Australia without seeing anything remotely toxic, apart from some of their beer….
It’s best not to mention snakes, Mike hates them.
There was a board outside a visitor centre, which served as the start point for many of our walks, helpfully providing pictorial identification of the local snakes with mention of the fact that ALL were venomous. I’ve only seen one, way back in Far North Queensland and it slithered away before Mike even noticed.
Watch out for those devils! Hope you had a good Christmas
I’ve yet to see one! Realistically it will have to be at a wildlife centre. And even then they are nocturnal so maybe not.
I am rather late for Christmas, but instead may I wish you both a very happy and good New Year.
Thanks Rosemary, and the very same to you!
Happy New Year to you 🙂
I hope you had a great Christmas 🙂
It was a very different Christmas, mostly walking, but perhaps rather healthier than Christmasses past!
A Very Happy New Year to you both 🙂
Hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year. xx
And to you Karen.
A new gardening season. What could be better?

The Christmas photograph looks heavenly.
Hi Ian. Tasmania is a pretty amazing place.
