Did the Montezuma Falls track by ourselves - Sh*tting myself a couple of times. Didn't take any pics until we got to the falls, so great to see yours of the track. The west coast of Tassie is a great part of the world & your photos do it justice. Thanks for sharing.
    Yeah that was a pretty special spot very glad we did it. We drove past the heli pad but didn't stop in, next time lol! Was pretty funny the drive to the falls, its defiantly a reasonable track but then got to the falls and were heaps of tourists including the type that likes to sit on a rock at the bottom of the falls so anyone that wants a photo gets some random person in it ! . . A few selfie sticks out as well lol. .

    The next day we met up with the rest of the crew (AB & Winnie +co's) after previously meeting up with Daz and Matty and co's in Derwent Bridge. Beutifull day to hit the iconic Climes Track really is an enjoyable drive. .

    Next day woke up and found Daz had to stay in town after going to Zeehan and water pump shit itself. Matty also had a little leak around the pump dam it so decided we'd keep going with the guys catching up later in the day. Headed off throgh Corina hoping to find a camp around Savage River, although after checking it out there was only a small site and already taken so back to Corinia and luckily they had enough sites to squeeze us all in.

    Melon Paddies everywhere. .

    Wasn't much we could do but to wait, MB courier services rushed up to Roseberry to pickup the water pumps and just hoped we had enough time to get them in and then back to Granville to packup then to the barge at cut off 7.00pm . . Grabbed a canoe while waiting and headed down river to Lovers Falls passed the Arcadia on the way . .

    Waited at the pub anxiously waiting for the rest of the party to arrive. . . Matty last on at 6.59 disembarked @7.00 on the dot, far out could't get much closer. Great relief to get both cars sorted not bad effort and didn't even loose a day pretty good . .

    The old pub (chimney is all that remains) with shack built around it all in memory of a young bloke that took his life. Very cool little place and a complete surprise. So many thing just left there in trust of others even beer in the fridge great to see it so well respected. . Series Three Land Rover isn't a feature you see in too many buildings but love it . .

    I didn't know the shack was the old pub. We found a handful of folk still living at Balfour, they came together most evenings in that shack. Cemetery was interesting but sad. We camped a bit before the 'township' at the entrance tunnel to the old mine, & didn't discover the township until we walked up there the following morning.
