Grasses, bull rushes, cliffs, rocks, thistles and thorny bushes, marsh plants and or trees edge Meadowbank Lake and the Derwent River up to Lake Repulse Dam and downstream to Gretna. Intermingled with any of these options can be weeds such as willow trees or blackberry brambles.
On the rarest of occasions, physical access to the river was possible.
Unfortunately in relation to the photo below, a herd of cattle were headed my way – this was their drinking spot. I did not have time to go to the edge; instead I walked furiously onwards under the hot sun.
While there was seldom a moment when I could not hear or see the Derwent River during my walks on farmland, usually a steep drop off or a thicket of trees prevented me feeling the breeze as the River flowed fast past me.
Love Your photos. They are very interesting and enjoyable. Thank You.

Glad you are enjoying my blog. There are over 200,000 words written on it now and thousands of photos to mark all the stages of the walk. The landscape is so varied along the 215 km length of our Derwent River. A wonderful ribbon of water through the south east of our State of Tasmania.
