Stillwater 14,200 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The next leg of this Summer´s Tasmania tour initially leads us from Strahan down to Macquarie Heads. The main entrance into Macquarie harbour was named "Hells Gates" in the convict time, as one of the first British penal stations in Australia was located on Sarah Island in this inlet. We escape and turn back north again over Strahan city, ... ... and along Henty Dunes at Ocean Beach. Turning inland we cross a number of nature reserves towards Zeehan village, ... ... follow A10 north to Lake Que, ... ... and fly along Cradle Mountain Road eastwards. A good base for our next hike would be Cradle Mountain Village (just right of the runway), with a number of accomodation options... ... and an airstrip in true OZx style. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TerribleT 518 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 More marvelous shots and indeed your Tassie tour is both informative and knowledgeable. Orbx/FTX scenery (with a touch of OZx), and a well painted small 'plane, always make this lovely island a pleasant virtual habitat. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Orbx / OZx combination would deserve even a smaller plane and a slower flight with stops at the most remote bush strips. But I try to cut my tours in car-driveable legs, if possible... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
