BURNIE, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA

Today we went on a Scenic Burnie and Surroundings tour.  Burnie is a small town (only 19,000) and being Easter Monday, most shops were closed.  But we'd booked on a "small bus" tour that took us to some picturesque places.

We started at Fern Glade.  There are tree ferns in NZ and Australia, but today we saw them with reflections into a quiet stream.  We also went to another small river with several waterfalls and this was scenic.

We drove through small towns and saw coastal views from lookouts.  The ocean was a beautiful color today.  Although it was sunny, it was a cold day.  There was fresh snow on surrounding mountains, so we had a cool breeze.  Tomorrow is Hobart (overnight) then back to Sydney.

g'day!
