Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon

本帖最后由 ceciliachiu 于 2012-4-8 23:43 编辑

We went to Lake Pedder and Lake Gordon on 7-8 April 2012. It was a 5 hour drive from Launceston to the Scotts Peak camping ground. The weather was not good at all. I did not take any photo on Saturday. It rained throughout the night on Saturday and it was pouring down Sunday morning. At the Lake Pedder Lookout, there was a brief moment of sunshine. I had not seen Lake Pedder or Lake Gordon before, so this was still a worthwhile trip.


A yellow spotted quoll wandering around the campsite in the morning, prospecting for food.

A very small wallaby, lucky that it had not become a prey of the quoll

Lake Pedder at Red Knoll Lookout. Lake Pedder is a very popular among anglers for trout fishing.

The island in the centre is Scotts Peak, which was a peak before the Scotts Peak Dam was built.

We walked down this flight of steps (196 steps) to the dam and what goes down must go up.

My husband had to stop at this general store for fish and chips - his reminiscent meal, reminding him of his young days bush walking in the South West.
