As some followers remarked on earlier postings, my selection of past photos on different walk stages has given me a chance to ‘relive’ the experiences. Here are some favourites from the last 4 stages of my walk along the Derwent River.

I love the Hobart wharf area with its crab and other fishing vessels.

I love the pretty 19^th century buildings lining Hunter St, one of the first settled areas in Hobart.

I love the drama of the Federation Concert Hall where the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra presents great performances.

No water is spared. The Parliamentary gardens are always lush and green.

 

I love the juxtaposition of the old and new: at Wrest Point Casino; at Lower Sandy Bay’s Blinking Billy against new modern houses.

 

Fresh beaches. Serenity.

 

Public sculpture.

 

Coastal walking tracks.

Great signage

The heritage listed Shot Tower near Taroona

A rough bark and branch ‘hut’ near a track. Shelter from any rain?

Natural rock caves

Dramatic viewpoints

The sun. The reflections.

Looking at, listening to, smelling the bush.

 

And I appreciate the glories of introduced trees and man-made vistas.

Collectively these images provide a reminder of what sits beside the Derwent River as it flows from New Norfolk to its mouth.
