Though I haven't posted many of the photos I took during my time in New Zealand and Australia in February/March 2018, I've managed to edit the majority of them.
However, there are quite a few from the Tasmanian leg of my trip still to work through. This was one I recently edited for submission to Issue #149 of Shots Magazine.
Taken on Cradle Mountain Road, en route to Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain with my parents, my uncle and his partner, we experienced lovely, but cold, weather. Arriving at the information centre to take the shuttle bus to Dove Lake, it became much more foggy and overcast.
While Dad and I took the shuttle bus to Dove Lake and back, Mum waited impatiently with my uncle and his partner in the information centre. She became increasingly impatient and irritable when Uncle John and I went on the rainforest walk. Mum's impatience and irritability is an unfortunate byproduct of dementia.
John and I were able to see native birds, wildlife and plants on the walk and I took quite a lot of photos.
Despite Mum's mood that day, the weather and circumstances were better than when Simon and I attempted to visit Cradle Mountain with my parents almost a year and a half later. This time around it was even colder, blowing a gale and raining, and I was on crutches.
As a consequence, we used the facilities and moved on to the next stop of the tour. The only positive of our attempted visit was the sighting of wombats and wallabies by the roadside as we navigated our way back.
Almost a year on, I still haven't had the chance to import and review photos from our trip taken with my D700. I'm finally close to being caught up on other things so I can do so though.
And I'm looking forward to sharing the best of mine here when I do.
