Yesterday we went west from Hobart to see Mount Fields National Park. Nice 2-hour walk up to a lookout over the lake; sunny and blue skies. We also saw the beautiful waterfall near the park entrance.
The next day we continued that road until the end, where the big water reservoirs are -- they built 2 or 3 dams in the 1970s to create huge artificial lakes. It was a much disputed project at that time which ultimately led to the launch of the first green party. 
Much natural forest was lost when the lakes were flooded, but now these big lakes are pretty and are an ecosystem with its own value.Cori and I get along well. She is witty and humorous, with camping experience, and so she's a very good travel companion.
