This is the second cascade at Liffey Falls, in Tasmania.
It's one of several cascades that is upstream from the
main falls,
along the walking track from the top carpark.
It's a shame about the branch in the middle of the frame, but my options
for composing this shot were very limited, due to the need to use a tripod,
and the fact that there wasn't anywhere else on the steep river bank
to stand.

Mountains appear blue in the distance as the clouds roll in.

On a recent Tasmanian holiday,
while in Hobart, we drove up Mount Wellington, hoping to enjoy the view
from the top of the mountain.
However, the top of the mountain was surrounded by thick fog, reducing
visibility to almost nothing.

On a recent holiday in Tasmania,
we visited the Liffey Falls. They are located in central Tasmania, approximately 10km
north of the Great Lake.
The road to Liffey Falls is very narrow, with plenty of corners
(and a small wooden bridge),
so you need to take your time while driving. The road to the top carpark is signposted as being
suitable for short-wheelbase vehicles only, so buses and caravans need to take an alternative
route to the lower carpark (which has less facilities, and requires a longer walk to the falls).
However, the slow drive means you can enjoy the wonderful green scenery of the temperate rainforest.
Once at the Liffey Falls carpark, the actual falls themselves are still a 25 minute walk away.
It's a pleasant walk through the rainforest, and you pass by a number of smaller cascades
on the way to the main falls.
The photo below shows the main falls. To get this view, I had to cross the river, and had one leg
of my tripod resting in the water.

While on a short boat cruise on the Marana at the historic Port Arthur site
in Tasmania, the sun made several brief appearances through the rain.
The rainbow below was the result of one of these brief appearances of the sun.

The photos below typify the Tasmanian countryside for me - lots of green
rolling hills, and mountains in the distance.
While driving through Tasmania on a recent holiday,
we frequently stopped on the side of the road to take photos of scenes such as this.

The first photo was taken somewhere near the northern end of the Tasman Peninsula (near Eaglehawk Neck),
and the second was taken along the west coast of the Tasman Peninsula.

Here's a slightly different view of the Penitentiary at the well-known historical site of Port Arthur,
in Tasmania.
After drizzling for most of the day, the sun came out for a brief period of time,
providing great lighting on the grass
and the Penitentiary.
It also resulted in a rainbow, as seen in the top left of the photo, with the recognisable
shape of the Penitentiary in the background.
The lichen on the paling fence was particularly interesting, so I went for a wide open
aperture, and focused on the fence.
What do you think? Feel free to provide feedback by adding a comment.

Here's another photo from our recent
holiday in Tasmania,
with the morning sun back-lighting the fence and the grass, which
is covered in frost.
