18:56 Tasmania has rivers full of tannin, making the water the colour of tea or rust. This comes from mountain streams that flow through alpine heathlands that are home to button-grass tussocks.

[@michellewatson4843]

The creek is brown because of a high level of tannin in it, the tannin comes from the plants around it, it’s quite common down here in Tassie.

[@ascendedsleeper5693]

They're even called Tea Trees for that reason.

[@10hanga]

You're Gunnar regret not doing the Gordon River cruise. They take you up to the Macquarie Harbour break water(scary), then show you around the Sarah Island womens penal colony in the south of Macquarie harbour then up the Gordon River where at one stage you get off the boat to walk through Tasmania's most ancient rain forest for around an hour.

[@ironside210]

I visited Queenstown in 1970s, and those hills were ABSOLUTELY bare of vegetation, almost over to Germantown. You are right! They burnt the copper ore (copper pyrite, I think), and the resultant SO2 and high rainfall did the rest. They are still mining in the area, but copper extraction no longer results in SO2 being released. Rehabilitation takes a long time, because no plants means high erosion means no soil means no plants.

[@andrewdavie386]

"Gormanston", perhaps?

[@miniveedub]

It was like being on another planet. I was there in 1972 on my honeymoon.

[@michellecameron5850]

Yeah, I visited a couple of times in the ‘80’s and Queenstown was far more bare than it is now!

[@RobNMelbourne]

The red-brown water colour is caused by the Melaleuca trees also known as Tea Trees. The tannin colours the water the same colour as tea. It is very clean and natural and good to swim in because tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and anti-fungus. Aborigines have been using it for thousands of years and I keep a bottle in my cabinet all the time. If you buy some make sure you buy the 100% pure local product and not the cheap imported stuff diluted with ethanol.

[@TheCaptn]

The tannins in those high country creeks comes from the button grass, but it gets even darker with the contribution from melaleuca trees when it reaches lower elevations.

[@trevorkrause7220]

I think that you have shown that Tasmania can be more enticing and beautiful in the winter off-season than the full on tourist season if one wants to appreaciate the scenery without the buzzing of the crowds of wandering tourists to distract from the beauty and magnificence of the natural landscape.

[@jimmux_v0]

It's actualy really nice right now, near the end of the off-season. The (almost) spring blooms are making the landscape especially beautiful, but it still has that blissful solitude.

I’m Victorian, but my family can not get enough of Tasmania. Absolutely love the place. The river cruise in Strahan is actually really worth doing so you missed out there.

Feb is hot and all the produce here is ready to go. I love the colours of the bedrock around Queenstown. it's amazing to see the changes as you come around each bend.

26:56mins - behind you is a TARDIS shaped book-sharing box!! Dr Who is very popular in Australia. 😝 But LOL at the 'big' penguin!!😆

So glad you had good weather for Cradle. I've been there 4(?) times and its always magical. One time we were hiking back from the first hut and it was pouring rain and the poor people who were on a walking tour had their guide pointing out where the mountain and lake were and you couldn't see a thing. Oh and those Currawongs are very intelligent. They have learnt how to unzip packs so you have to be careful where you leave them.

We climbed The Nut when our kids were small. Eldest daughter sat down and refused to go any farther unless we carried her, which we did. Now she's a really keen walker and would happily jog up. :D

Nice to see some of cradle mountain area, as i haven't done that part of tassie yet. The seaplane trip from strahan into the rivers area is great, but yes they can be pricey, especially during summer season. Look forward to your next adventure.

Great video again! Tassie is awesome It was me who said hello to you both in Melbourne cbd today, couldn’t believe I saw you both outside of my work walking with a coffee 🥹😅 It’s like my tv came to life seeing you both!! Lovely couple and great Channel 🤍

Thank goodness you escaped the cunning of those clever mountain currawongs at Cradle Mountain NP. They can open zips you know! Leave a bag lying around and they'll steal your food from inside the bag! Gonski. So glad that you enjoyed your trip so much. This country is incredible and Tasmania such a beautiful jewel in it's crown.

Gonski? I guess they are rather well educated for birds.
