Mon. 4/13 Another perfectly wonderful day in Tasmania. We took several walks in different areas of the park and learned so much about the plants and animals and how they have adapted to life in this environment. Our favorite place was a forest about halfway up the mountain. There is an old chalet up there that was built as a guesthouse in the last century by the man who pushed to have this area declared a national park. The forest was filled with King Billy Pines which are as tall and big in diameter as redwoods and are many hundreds of years old. The other predominant trees are pencil pines which have clumps of long thin evergreen foliage. Then everything is covered in moss that is the greenest green I have ever seen. I wish my pictures could do it justice but they don't. I'm pretty sure the elves and fairies live here even if I didn't see them. We love the mama and baby wombat who live down the road from us.

Have you seen any Tazmanian devils, though? I've sent you a video I made of the girls to your email. I hope you can view it. Love you!
Finally, I'd pretty much decided you were the world's worst blogger. Jaymie said perhaps you were having too much fun, but I told him that's no excuse!! The pictures look beautiful. I'm glad you are having such a great trip. I'm ready for you to come home - I don't like not being able to talk to you. Jaymie wants a hat like Tommy's so they can wear their matching beer shirts and hats and be twins. Everything here is pretty much the same as always. Keep having fun.....
