Hi,
over the weekend I had some time for spare, and so we went to Cathedral mountain for one night. Had a great couple of days with very nice weather onn the first day and some overcast for the second. Here just a few photos to enjoy.

Ditto on the fagus shot, really well taken, even though I have absolutely no idea of what fagus means....!

Fagus
What is Fagus?
Deciduous beech (Nothofagus gunnii) - or fagus as it is best-known - is a humble tree, usually growing to 2 metres or less. You find it in places most would describe as inhospitable. One of its other names - tanglefoot - is ruefully confirmed by bushwalkers caught up in its twisted, ground-hugging branches. Yet this small Tasmanian tree can claim something few other Australian plants can. It is Australia's only winter-deciduous tree, and you will find it nowhere else in the world except Tasmania.

Yes the walk is reasonably easy, but no it is unfortunately not in Victoria, it's down here in Tasmania.
